Location of Red Hat Enterprise Linux software

For each server that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you need a basic RHEL installation. In addition, depending on the server type, install all of the specified extra RHEL packages.

To check whether a package is installed, run the following command:

rpm -qa | grep <package_name>

The dependency_checker tool also reports any missing packages. See Running the Dependency Checker tool for details of the tool.

Any additional required packages must be in the Server directory of the RHEL installation media.

If any packages are missing, install them by running the following command as user root:

rpm -i <RPM package file>

All the extra packages that are listed in the following sections are x86_64 versions unless otherwise stated.

You must have all the packages that are installed, regardless of whether they are 32 bit or 64 bit.

For example, the libXp package has two packages that are listed, the i386 and the x86_64 version; you must install both.

The architecture is displayed in bold for each package listed.
