If you are like me, you may be doing this to install essential build libraries to compile something from source
# wrong method yum install build-essential
🙂 Build essential is a Ubuntu / Debian package. On CentOS, you need to do this
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
Warning: This will install all development tools approx 49 packages closing to 65MB
Thanks for posting this were folk can easily find it. Very helpful
Thanks..!!!
Thanks!
Thank you, sir! 🙂
Thanks for the tip! Very helpful. Using CentOS 6.2 minimal, it pulls 98 packages.
well that explains why i couldn’t compile anything from source with centos. Thanks!
thanks
Thank your sir is very help full
Look like for CentOS release 6.5 (Final), it wants a bit more at:
Install 103 Package(s)
Total download size: 93 M
Installed size: 272 M
YMMV as this was a minimal installation of server.
thank you 😀
Thanks, this will show the packages in the group:
yum groupinfo “Development tools”
Awesome! thanks for sharing
