How to make rpm auto install dependencies

Question

I have built two RPM packages   proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm libtest1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   proj1 depends on the file libtest1 so being present and it is reflected correctly in the RPM packages as seen here   user my-pc    rpm -qp --requires proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm libtest1 so   64bit   user my-pc    rpm -qp --provides libtest1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm libtest1 so   64bit    The installation of proj1 fails due to a missing dependency   user my-pc    rpm -ivh proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm error  Failed dependencies  libtest1 so   64bit  is needed by proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   How do I ensure that libtest1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm is installed automatically during the installation of proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   I did try the --aid option with rpm -i as described here but it didn t work for me   Is there any other way   Thanks for any help

Process of generating RPM from source file: 1) download source file with.gz extention. 2) install rpm-build and rpmdevtools from yum install. (rpmbuild folder will be generated...SPECS,SOURCES,RPMS.. folders will should be generated inside the rpmbuild folder). 3) copy the source code.gz to SOURCES folder.(rpmbuild/SOURCES) 4)Untar the tar ball by using the following command. go to SOURCES folder :rpmbuild/SOURCES where tar file is present. command: e.g tar -xvzf httpd-2.22.tar.gz httpd-2.22 folder will be generated in the same path. Check if apr and apr-util and there in httpd-2.22/srclib folder. If apr and apr-util doesnt exist download latest version from apache site ,untar it and put it inside httpd-2.22/srclib folder. Also make sure you have pcre install in your system .

5)go to extracted folder and then type below command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-included-apr --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-balancer --with-mpm=worker --enable-mods-static=all 6)run below command once the configure is successful: make 7)after successfull execution od make command run: checkinstall in tha same folder. (if you dont have checkinstall software please download latest version from site) Also checkinstall software has bug which can be solved by following way::::: locate checkinstallrc and then replace TRANSLATE = 1 to TRANSLATE=0 using vim command. Also check for exclude package: EXCLUDE="/selinux" 8)checkinstall will ask for option (type R if you want tp build rpm for source file) 9)Done .rpm file will be built in RPMS folder inside rpmbuild/RPMS file... ALL the BEST ....

I ran into this and what worked for me was to run yum localinstall enterPkgNameHere rpm from inside the directory where the  rpm  file is located   Note  replace the enterPkgNameHere rpm with the name of your  rpm file

Create a  local  repository and use yum to have it resolve the dependencies for you   The CentOS wiki has a nice page providing a how-to on this  CentOS wiki HowTos CreateLocalRepos     Summarized and further minimized  not ideal  but quickest     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

The link  gertvdijk provided shows a quick way to achieve the desired results without configuring a local repository     yum --nogpgcheck localinstall packagename arch rpm   Just change packagename arch rpm to the RPM filename you want to install   Edit Just a clarification  this will automatically install all dependencies that are already available via system YUM repositories   If you have dependencies satisfied by other RPMs that are not in the system s repositories  then this method will not work unless each RPM is also specified along with packagename arch rpm on the command line

Matthew s answer awoke many emotions  because of the fact that it still lacks a minor detail  The general command would be     yum --nogpgcheck localinstall  lt package1 file name gt       lt packageN file name gt    The package file name above can include local absolute or relative path  or be a URL  possibly even an URI    Yum would search for dependencies among all package files given on the command line AND IF IT FAILS to find the dependencies there  it will also use any configured and enabled yum repositories    Neither the current working directory  nor the paths of any of package file name will be searched  except when any of these directories has been previously configured as an enabled yum repository   So in the OP s case the yum command     cd  lt path with pkg files gt   yum --nogpgcheck localinstall   proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   libtest1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   would do  as would do the rpm     cd  lt path with pkg files gt   rpm -i proj1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm libtest1-1 0-1 x86 64 rpm   The differencve between these yum and rpm invocations would only be visible if one of the packages listed to be installed had further dependencies on packages NOT listed on the command line   In such a case rpm will just refuse to continue  while yum would use any configured and enabled yum repositories to search for dependencies  and may possibly succeed   The current working directory will NOT be searched in any case  except when it has been previously configured as an enabled yum repository

For dnf users just use dnf install   rpm  localinstall is no longer needed

I found a simpler solution  If you have all the RPMs in the same directory  all you need to do is     sudo rpm -i   rpm   rpm seems to figure out the correct order to install these and installs the RPMs
