Yum Repository

Steps to create yum repository
Example: CentOS 7

1)      Log in as root or superuser ($ prompt = Normal user; # prompt = Super user)

2)      # df

(df= disk free or disk file system)

3)      # cd media path/Packages
(cd=change directory; media path is the red box in the pic)

Note: Prefer to type the path while (cd) changing directory rather copy paste
4)      # rpm -ivh vsftpd*
(rpm=redhat package manager; vsftpd=very secure file transfer protocol daemon)
5)      # rpm -ivh delta*
6)      # rpm -ivh python-delta*
7)      # rpm -ivh createrepo*
(-ivh stands for install, verbose, hash; # man rpm (this gives you complete information about those options))
8)      # cd /
9)      # mkdir repo
(mkdir=make directory)
10)  # cp -rvf /media path/Packages /repo
(cp=copy; -rvf stands for recursive, verbose, force)

11)  # createrepo –database /repo/Packages

12)  # cp -rvf /media path/RPM-GPG-KEY-yourOS  /repo

13)  # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/basic.repo (vi=visual instrument- a text editor)
