# README ## Introduction The tarball (tar.gz file) in this directory contains RPM packages that can be used to create a local RPM repository. This repository allows you to install and manage RPM packages on your system without relying on external package repositories. ## Purpose The purpose of this tarball is to provide an easy and convenient way for users to set up a local RPM repository. By creating a local repository, you can have greater control over the packages installed on your system, ensure offline access to packages, and maintain a consistent environment for software installation. NOTE: The tarball provided in this directory serves the sole purpose of facilitating the creation of a local RPM repository. ## Usage To use the contents of this tarball for local RPM repository creation, follow these steps: 1. Download: Start by downloading the tarball file to your local machine. Make sure to remember the location where you saved the file. 2. Extraction: Extract the tarball using a utility that supports handling tar archives. This will extract the RPM packages and metadata files. 3. Repository Creation: Move the extracted RPM packages to a desired location on your system. Then, follow the relevant instructions for your Linux distribution to initialize and configure the local RPM repository using the extracted packages. 4. Package Management: Once the local RPM repository is set up, you can use package management tools like `yum` or `dnf` to install, upgrade, and remove packages from the repository.
