This is an early junior System Administrator guide:
This time I will show you how to create a local yum repository that you can use in your environment.
First you need to create a directory to host your local yum repo in.
I have decided to create two directories because I might add several local repositories in the future.
sudo mkdir /repostore sudo mkdir /repostore/nmap6.40-1
Then move or copy the rpm files that you would like to have in your local yum repository.
Move rpm file sudo mv nmap-6.40-1.x86_64.rpm /repostore/nmap6.40-1/ Or copy rpm file sudo cp nmap-6.40-1.x86_64.rpm /repostore/nmap6.40-1/
Now we need to run the command createrepo:
sudo createrepo /repostore/nmap6.40-1
[c-johsor@sesstl168 /]$ sudo createrepo /repostore/nmap6.40-1/ Spawning worker 0 with 1 pkgs Workers Finished Gathering worker results Saving Primary metadata Saving file lists metadata Saving other metadata Generating sqlite DBs Sqlite DBs complete
Now we need to create the yum repo configuration file in the folder /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/nmap-6.40-1.repo
[nmap-6.40-1] name=Nmap Version 6.1.40-1 Local Repo baseurl=file:///repostore/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
The we install the repo with the command:
sudo yum install nmap-6.40-1
[c-johsor@sesstl168 ~]$ sudo yum install nmap-6.40-1 [sudo] password for c-johsor: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.searchdaimon.com * extras: mirror.searchdaimon.com * updates: mirror.academica.fi Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package nmap.x86_64 2:6.40-1 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: nmap x86_64 2:6.40-1 nmap-6.40-1 4.8 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Total download size: 4.8 M Installed size: 17 M Is this ok [y/N]:

Let’s run yum info nmap and check the information about nmap.

Description :
: Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source utility
: for network exploration or security auditing. Many systems and
: network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as
: network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and
: monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in
: novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network,
: what services (application name and version) those hosts are
: offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are
: running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and
: dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan
: large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on
: all major computer operating systems, and both console and
: graphical versions are available.
[c-johsor@sesstl168 ~]$Let’s check the version information of nmap to get more details:
[c-johsor@sesstl168 /]$ nmap -version Nmap version 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu Compiled with: liblua-5.2.2 openssl-0.9.8k nmap-libpcre-7.6 nmap-libpcap-1.2.1 nmap-libdnet-1.12 ipv6 Compiled without: Available nsock engines: epoll poll select [c-johsor@sesstl168 /]$
That is the end of the tutorial.
