Is it possible to use yum to install a RPM file in Red Hat Linux?
Solution 1:
Yes, it is possible to install a single - already downloaded file - via YUM
yum install RPM-FILENAME.rpm from the directory you have the package downloaded to.
Solution 2:
rpm -ivh file.rpm
is the command for you. The benefit of yum is that it will resolve dependencies for you and also install dependencies along with the concerned application. But you need to define the path of software resources in /etc/yum.repos.d in a .repo file
