[georg-seidl]

hi 

i have Downloaded Rpms and copy to an nxos device in bootflash.

now i want install the rpm in a Guestshell with Sudo yum install /bootflash/nameofrpm.rpm

guesthell will access a mirror, Problem i have no direct Internet Access 

is it possible to install the rpm local?

best regards

Should be able to with something like “sudo yum localinstall /bootflash/nameofrpm.rpm” as this is already in your bootflash

Hi,

i have tried this, but i think "localinstall" don`t work.

[user01@guestshell bootflash]$ ls tftp-server-5.2-38.el9.aarch64.rpm
tftp-server-5.2-38.el9.aarch64.rpm
[user01@guestshell bootflash]$ pwd
/bootflash
[user01@guestshell bootflash]$ sudo yum localinstall /bootflash/tftp-server-5.2-38.el9.aarch64.rpm

I’m guessing as I don’t have a device to hand to test. Try sudo rpm -ivh /bootflash/filename etc

Sure as long that RPM Does not required any dependency you can install from shell.

make sure you have enough resources.

check the guide and syntax :
