Configuring yum
¶
The IGWN-Production RPM Repository¶
To configure yum
to use the LSCSoft repositories:
-
Download the configuration RPM for the IGWN-Production Repository
curl -LO https://software.igwn.org/lscsoft/scientific/7/x86_64/production/l/lscsoft-production-config-1.3-1.el7.noarch.rpm
-
Validate the file using the checksum
echo "67441089fc9c53e2c752bb5d7b8a9209 lscsoft-production-config-1.3-1.el7.noarch.rpm" | md5sum -c -
-
Install the RPM:
rpm --install lscsoft-production-config-1.3-1.el7.noarch.rpm
-
Clear the yum cache and initialise the repository:
yum clean all yum makecache
The system should now be configured to track the IGWN-Production RPM repository.
Other IGWN RPM Repositories¶
CompSoft hosts other RPM repositories beyond the Production repo:
Repository | Purpose |
---|---|
lscsoft-backports | Non-IGWN software rebuilt by IGWN |
lscsoft-epel-config | IGWN mirror of upstream EPEL repository |

Once the IGWN-Production RPM Repository has been configured, to install one of these other repositories, install the <repo>-config
RPM, e.g. for lscsoft-testing
:
yum install lscsoft-testing-config
