# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

Create a (local) repository and use yum to have it resolve the dependencies for you
Summarized and further minimized (not ideal, but quickest):
Continue reading Create a (local) repository and use yum to have it resolve the dependencies for you
- Create a directory for you local repository, e.g.
/home/user/repo
. - Move the RPMs into that directory.
- Fix some ownership and filesystem permissions:
# chown -R root.root /home/user/repo
- Install the
createrepo
package if not installed yet, and run
# createrepo /home/user/repo # chmod -R o-w+r /home/user/repo
- Create a repository configuration file, e.g.
/etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo
containing
[local] name=My Awesome Repo baseurl=file:///home/user/repo enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
- Install your package using
# yum install packagename
