[Open-scap] [Suspected Spam] Re: OSCAP Scanner Binaries

[Mohanraj, Bharath]

I tried to download only the oscap rpms by using the below command,
yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/opt/oscaprpm openscap-scanner

And once the above command is triggered, it downloaded the below bunch of RPMs…

My intention here is to get the rpms downloaded, copy it to my other RHEL machines that don’t have yum… and directly install the rpms… and I’m interested in running the oscap to scan my RHEL machines…

Now, my question here is, should I install all the downloaded RPMs to get the oscap scanning work?

Thanks for the info…
The first thing I want to avoid is my enduser machines hitting the internet for downloading packages… So, I prefer having them as RPM files locally and trigger installation of the same… But, in case the RPM installation fails for some reason, then just placing the files at required locations will be my fallback…
Do you see any problems with this approach, that might affect oscap functionality?

While technically possible, using the operating systems native package manager is generally recommended.

You can download the RPM file from Red Hat using the links/instructions Mike Harris sent.

From there a "yum localinstall <rpm>" could be used.
