To set up a local installation source on CentOS 8, you need to complete the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Copy the CentOS 8 installation media (ISO file or DVD) to a local directory, such as \/media\/CentOS8.<\/li>\n
  2. Open the terminal and log in as the root user or a user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\n
  3. Open the \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/ directory and check for files with the extension .repo, as these are the configuration files for yum installation sources.<\/li>\n
  4. It is recommended to first backup any files with the extension .repo to another directory to prevent any issues from occurring.<\/li>\n
  5. Create a new centos8.repo file and make modifications to it.<\/li>\n
  6. Open the centos8.repo file in the \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/ directory using the command sudo vi.<\/li>\n
  7. Type the following content in the editor:<\/li>\n
  8. [Local CentOS8]
    \nname=Local CentOS 8 Repository
    \nbaseurl=file:\/\/\/media\/CentOS8
    \nenabled=1
    \ngpgcheck=0<\/li>\n
  9. Replace “\/media\/CentOS8” here with the actual directory path where you have stored the CentOS 8 installation media.<\/li>\n
  10. Setting the option “enabled” to 1 enables the installation source, while setting the option “gpgcheck” to 0 indicates that GPG checks will not be performed.<\/li>\n
  11. Save the file and exit the editor.<\/li>\n
  12. Update the yum cache:<\/li>\n
  13. Please clear all the cached packages using “sudo dnf clean all” and then update the metadata cache using “sudo dnf makecache”.<\/li>\n
  14. Now you can use local media as the installation source for installing and upgrading software packages on CentOS 8.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that using local media as an installation source may result in some software packages not being updated in a timely manner, as they may not be present in the local media. If you require the latest software packages, consider using the official remote installation sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
