I am trying to install graphviz on my RHEL VM. when I run
$sudo yum install graphviz
I get this:
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
No package graphviz available.
Error: Nothing to do
I later found out that I get this same problem with all packages.
I have tried several solutions I have found online such as:
saving the .repo file found here (this link will download the file)
then running
#from dir containing graphviz-rhel.repo
$sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo graphviz-rhel.repo
the output was
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
adding repo from: graphviz-rhel.repo
grabbing file graphviz-rhel.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/graphviz-rhel.repo
repo saved to /etc/yum.repos.d/graphviz-rhel.repo
Then I ran
$sudo yum-config-manager --enable graphviz-rhel
This gives no output and $yum-config-manager list all does not list anything related to graphviz as a repo (enabled or disabled)
I tried the solution here: failed to install 'graphviz*' packages with yum command on my RHEL server
except I found the rpm file here
When I ran the rpm command I got an error because I was missing a couple dozen dependencies so I dont think following this solution for all of them is a reasonable solution.
If someone can either inform me why one of these didn't work or let me know how to accomplish my goal of getting yum install <package> to work I would greatly appreciate it.
As posted in the comments, in order to utilize yum on a RHEL system you need an active subscription

I just installed Windows Subsystem for Linux for the first time and downloaded the Debian distribution from the Windows Store.
The first thing I tried to do was use the "mv" command. The second thing was to run "man mv" because I don't remember how to use it. But I received the error:
-bash: man: command not found
It looks like the package I want is called manpages. But I can't install that:
sudo apt-get install manpages
[sudo] password for pi:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package manpages is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'manpages' has no installation candidate
How do I get the man command up and running?
apt update to update the local package lists followed by apt install man-db to install the actual package.
I want to add to elken's answer that apparently, the 'man-db' packages doesn't cover all the manpages. For example, I needed documentation for the C stdio library (fopen, fgets, ...), and for that I had to install 'manpages-dev':
sudo apt install manpages-dev
Apparently there are also some other manpage collections (/different names for them on certain unix distros), see https://superuser.com/questions/40609/how-to-install-man-pages-for-c-standard-library-functions-in-ubuntu
We are trying to install Ambari server following the manual Install Ambari 2.2.1 from Public Repositories.
When we tried to install the Ambari server with the command yum install ambari-server it returns that it is nothing to do.
The ambari.repo is:
#VERSION_NUMBER=2.2.1.0-161
[Updates-ambari-2.2.1.0]
name=ambari-2.2.1.0 - Updates
baseurl=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos7/2.x/updates/2.2.1.0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos7/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins
enabled=1
priority=1
Someone can help us?
The problem was that the OS installed was of 32 bits and it is obligatory install the 64 bits OS.
Just clear the yum cache and then try again it will be solved your problem.
yum clean all
yum install ambari-server
Note: Make sure you kept the ambari.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ location
This happens in case:
Package (ambari-server) is already installed
Repolist can't find the package (ambari-server).
First run yum list all if it's not listing package then run
yum clean all
Again run yum list all
If it's not listing your package you need to add .repo file for the same in /etc/yum.repos.d
I am a novice with zeroMQ and I am stuck at binding ØMQ with java on a server running CentOS release 5.9.
Unfortunately, I do not have super user/root privileges on the server and am trying to install ØMQ as a normal user with restricted privileges. I have installed ØMQ by following instructions on http://www.zeromq.org/area:download
Make sure that libtool, autoconf, automake are installed.
Check whether uuid-dev package, uuid/e2fsprogs RPM or equivalent on your system is installed.
Unpack the .tar.gz source archive.
Run ./configure, followed by make.
Could not run the following obviously
To install ØMQ system-wide run sudo make install.
On Linux, run sudo ldconfig after installing ØMQ.
Then I attempted to install jzmq.
Cloned [git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq.git]
Ran autogen.sh
Ran configure
At this point I get the following error
checking for ZeroMQ... no
checking zmq.h usability... no
checking zmq.h presence... no
checking for zmq.h... no
configure: error: cannot find zmq.h
As a result of the above error I am not able to run java tests and get error "no jzmq in java.library.path".
Can anybody help/direct me to how to get java binding for zeromq work when you dont have root privileges to install it? Its difficult to get IT department to install a new software on servers.
Appreciate your help.
Note: I do not have write permissions to /usr directory
Thanks

This can be overcome by adding --with-zeromq=/home/user/zeromq (installation directory of zeromq)
./configure --with-zeromq=/home/user/zeromq
Other steps include
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/zeromq/lib
You can also use JeroMQ (https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq) which is a pure Java implementation of ZeroMQ
I got this working by running autogen.sh on OEL 6 then running configure / compiling / installing on CentOS 5.9. I briefly looked into why autogen.sh was failing and the problem was the tool chain was too old. Since I had a more up-to-date system with a modern tool chain available running autogen.sh on something other than CentOS 5 was the easiest path for me. I'm sure it works fine with other modern Linux variants, I had OEL 6 at my finger tips.
I also did not have access to a standard directory for installation. To get that working I added zmq.jar to my class path, and the run-time linker needed to be able to find the zeromq and jzmq run-time libraries.
I faced the same issue on CentOS 6.5 and found that you need to install "gcc-c++" for this to work.
I used the following to install dependencies:
yum -y install jdk zeromq-devel unzip libtool gcc autoconf automake gcc-c++ python
Note that "jdk" comes from our private repository and it's same what can be downloaded from java.com
The following public repositories are installed on server:
atomic
Actually, I ended up having this same issue, and the following script worked for me, where I installed zeromq into ~ (so that I have ~/lib contains libzmq.a libzmq.la libzmq.so libzmq.so.3 libzmq.so.3.1.0 pkgconfig)
./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$HOME \ #because you don't have root privileges
--with-zeromq=$HOME --includedir=$HOME/include/ --libdir=$HOME/lib/
./make
./make -n install
#to check to see if it installs it to the right location
make install
I have created a yum repository on a machine I have. I have thrown certain RPM's into it and created the repo. On my second machine I am able to view these repos and the files in them by doing a yum list. The second part of this is I have done a spec file that creates an rpm that depends on all of the RPM's in this specific repo but when I do a yum install createdrpm it determines the correct dependencies, but does not install them from my own repo.
I have tried searching over the web for this, but no luck unfortunately. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
In the rpm spec file, the Requires section should list the package names that are shown in the yum repo, not the rpm filenames.
For example:
yum list | grep something
something.noarch v1.0
The rpm spec file should have:
Require: something >= 1.0
I'm trying to run the following:
yum reinstall glibc --downloadonly --downloaddir=/root/dependencies/
But it keeps giving me an error that --downloaddir is not a valid option though I've seen others use it around the web. I'm using RHEL Workstation 5.5. Is there another way to specify the downloaddir?
Thanks
first install yumdownloader
yum install yumdownloader
