Download packages using yum without Installation


How to download packages using yum without applying them?

We can download packages or updates using yum downloadonly plugin without actually installing them to the system. Below steps can be followed for that.
Install yum-downloadonly package.
# yum install yum-downloadonly
Create a directory to download packages to.
# mkdir /tmp/downloadonly
# Run yum in the downloadonly mode.
# yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp/downloadonly packagename
The above command wouldn't install package, but would just download the it to /tmp/downloadonly directory. This is the best method to download packages using yum. Command "yumdownloader" provided through "yum-utils" can also be used to download specific single packages.

Thanks,
