Hi@akhtar,

By default, RedHat has one ISO file. Inside this, you can find lots of Softwares. You just need to create one repository for these Softwares inside /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder.

[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum.repo
[dvd]
baseurl=file:///run/media/root/RHEL-8-0-0-BaseOS-x86_64/AppStream
gpgcheck=0
[dvd1]
baseurl=file:///run/media/root/RHEL-8-0-0-BaseOS-x86_64/BaseOS
gpgcheck=0

To check the yum server is installed properly or not, you can use the yum repolist command.

[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist
