There is an Red Hat EL06 server on which I need to "install" a package that is not part of the official repository. So far so good, I'd download the .rpm file manually, I'd satisfy the dependencies and I'd install. The problem is that I do not have access to root and the administrator does not install packages that are not official.

However, if I have a binary with execution permission in my home dir, I will be able to execute and my need will be met.

So I ask, is it possible to generate a directory containing all dependencies of libs + binary executable, starting from an RPM file? How do you do this?

  • Unsure if this is a duplicate per se, but definitely feel that question could get the asker to a solution that works for him. – Matthew Schuchard Jul 25 '17 at 13:54
  • No, It doesn't. In that post explains how to extracts the content from a RPM file and what I needs to know how to create a binary (executable) file from RPM and yours dependences. – Michel Grassi Jul 25 '17 at 16:42
  • @Michel mention that you would satisfy the dependencies. Once, dependencies are satisfied. You can extract the binary files from rpm and use it – dlmeetei Jul 25 '17 at 19:11
