Scientific linux: How to install yum using rpm?

  • 772

On Scientific linux 6.0(RH like linux) I accidentally removed python, so yum removed as well.µ

How to install yum with rpm?

EDIT

I try to install python but it is somehow looped the dependences:

rpm -Uvh http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-libs-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
    Retrieving http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-libs-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
            python = 2.6.5-3.el6 is needed by python-libs-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64

Then:

 rpm -Uvh http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python
-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
Retrieving http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit) is needed by python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64
linux yum rpm scientific-linux

    Download the package(s) and type rpm -Uvh <packagenames> as root or sudo rpm -Uvh <packagenames> as normal user

    I used rpm -qpR yum-3.2.27-14.el6.noarch.rpm to get a list of dependencies for yum, hope that gets all off them in one go:

    Download all the packages with the following code block:

    wget http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-libs-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-iniparse-0.3.1-2.1.el6.noarch.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/pygpgme-0.1-18.20090824bzr68.el6.x86_64.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-7.el6.noarch.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/python-pycurl-7.19.0-5.el6.x86_64.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/rpm-python-4.8.0-12.el6.x86_64.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/yum-3.2.27-14.el6.noarch.rpm \
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/Packages/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

    Install them as follows:

    rpm -Uhv py*.rpm \
   yum*.rpm \
   rpm-py*.rpm
