Setting up a Local YUM Repository
Setting up the YUM Server
Setting up a local YUM repository provides many benefits in situations like where hosts in a network does not have access to Internet . Also , installing a package from a local YUM repository is faster because of low latency as compared to Internet . The YUM repository can have access to Internet so that the repository is always updated with latest software updates . Please find below steps to setup a local YUM repository.

gpgcheck=1
