yum install
. If you know the name of the binary you want to install, but not its package name, you can give yum install
the path name:
~]# yum install /usr/sbin/named
yum
then searches through its package lists, finds the package which provides /usr/sbin/named
, if any, and prompts you as to whether you want to install it.
Finding which package owns a file
named
binary, but you do not know in which bin
or sbin
directory is the file installed, use the yum provides
command with a glob expression:
~]# yum provides "*bin/named"
