Configure your YUM or DNF Client to Work with RPM Packages

You configure your YUM or DNF client by configuring RPM registry credentials in the artifactory.repo file. The artifactory.repo file contains information used by the automatic login feature of the rexec and ftp commands.

To configure your local machine to install RPM packages using YUM or DNF client, follow these steps:

Edit the artifactory.repo file with root privileges.
```
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/artifactory.repo
```

Add the following snippet to the artifactory.repo file.

[Artifactory]
name=Artifactory
baseurl=https://<USERNAME>:<TOKEN>@[JFrogPlatformURL]/artifactory/<RPM-REPO>/<PATH_TO_REPODATA_FOLDER>
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Optional - if you have GPG signing keys installed, use the below flags to verify the repository metadata signature:

[Artifactory]
name=Artifactory
baseurl=https://<USERNAME>:<TOKEN>@[JFrogPlatformURL]/artifactory/<RPM-REPO>/<PATH_TO_REPODATA_FOLDER>/repomd.xml.key
repo_gpgcheck=1

Where:

<USERNAME>: Your JPD username
<TOKEN>: Token
[JFrogPlatformURL]: The URL of your JPD
<RPM-REPO>: Name of the repository. If the configured depth is 0, the baseurl should point to the root of the repository
<PATH_TO_REPODATA_FOLDER>: Configured repository depth

For example:

[Artifactory]
name=Artifactory
baseurl=https://john:cmVmdGtuOjAXVXTTVKOUtJeEsyTzdG@company.jfrog.io/artifactory/hc-rpm-local/my-rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Optional - if you have GPG signing keys installed, use the below flags to verify the repository metadata signature:

[Artifactory]
name=Artifactory
baseurl=https://john:cmVmdGtuOjAXVXTTVKOUtJeEsyTzdG@company.jfrog.io/artifactory/hc-rpm-local/my-rpm/repomd.xml.key
repo_gpgcheck=1
