how to download software's using yum for offline use.

edit

I would prefer yumdownloader instead of --downloadonly option in yum.

Check the documentation and read what's the difference.

Read the manual page if you want.

Use the command

yumdownloader --resolve "packagename"

where "packagename" replace it with the package you want to download for later installation. Use the --resolve switch, to resolve (download) any dependencies.

With the --destdir switch as we read from the manual page

--destdir DIR

Specify a destination directory for the download. Defaults to the current directory.

Where DIR replace it with the path you want to store the downloaded .rpm pacakages.
