There are two methods to download a package without installing it.
Method 1:
Install required plugin for yum
[root@server ~]# yum install yum-plugin-downloadonly
Run yum command with “–downloadonly” option:
[root@server ~]# yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/data createrepo
where,
createrepo === package to download from yum
Method 2:
Install required package for yum to download
[root@server ~]# yum install yum-utils
Run the command followed by the desired package:
[root@server ~]# yumdownloader --destdir /data --resolve createrepo
where,
createrepo === package to download from yum
–resolve === download the dependency packages
