How to install rpm file along with its all dependencies?

Question

I'm trying to install HPCC on RHEL based machine.

I have one .rpm file and to install this rpm, I'm using following command:

sudo rpm -Uvh hpccsystems-platform_community-4.0.0-9.el6.x86_64.rpm

I'm getting following error :

error: Failed dependencies:
        boost-regex is needed by hpccsystems-platform-community-4.0.09.x86_64
        expect is needed by hpccsystems-platform-community-4.0.09.x86_64

        libssl.so.10()(64bit) is needed by hpccsystems-platform-community-4.0.09.x86_64
4.0.09.x86_64

Please note that this is the first time I am using RHEL. I have used Ubuntu and in Ubuntu it was easier to install software using apt-get install command which fetches software along with its dependencies.

How to install this rpm and automatically install its all dependencies too?

Solution 1

Use yum instead.

yum localinstall ...

For example:

yum localinstall http://pkgs.repoforge.org/subversion/subversion-devel-1.7.1-0.1.el6.rfx.i686.rpm

The example above will install the rpm and its dependencies automatically.

Solution 2

you may make local yum repository and then run command

yum install hpccsystems-platform_community-4.0.0-9.el6.x86_64.rpm

or find the online repository where this package is available and then put the url in baseurl in .repo file.

Solution 3

You can enable the EPEL Repository in RHEL - download the epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm package using wget and then install it using rpm:

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Then, execute the following command:

yum install gcc-c++ gcc make bison flex binutils-devel openldap-devel libicu-devel libxslt-devel libarchive-devel boost-devel openssl-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel

Finally, install the hpccsystems-platform package:

rpm -Uvh hpccsystems-platform_community-4.0.0-9.el6.x86_64.rpm

@Shekhar this is your answer...

This is not an answer as people go for rpm install and face dependency problem "because" they have no local repo or yum repo.
