How can I install VNC Server on Red Hat 7.2 that is not connected to the internet?

Question

I have a 64-bit Red Hat 7.2 server that is isolated from the Internet.

I am able to SSH to it easily, as well as transfer files using USB. I downloaded VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm and tried to install it

yum install VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm

also tried:

rpm -ivh VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm

but it reported a missing dependency: xterm

When I downloaded and transfered xterm-179-5.EL.x86_64.rpm it also required another dependency libXaw.7 and libtermcap.so.2().

When I found libXaw and tried to install it, it required x11-data-bitmaps. I am not sure when will this chain end.

I am not very skilled with linux, and have searched for a single rpm file that contains all the required dependencies for VNC Server, but could not find such thing.

Is there a single file rpm package that contains all required dependencies for VNC Server for Red Hat 7.2?

Edit: I ran yum deplist VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm and got a list of 22 unsatisfied dependencies. Is there a single repository I can download that contain all the missing ones?

You can check the dependency list, download all dependencies and install them. To check dependency list do yum deplist {package name}

Hi Ahmad... Remove unnecessary repository (*i3) from the repolist. yum remove package-cleanup --leaves to remove unwanted pakages then install VNC on your machine rpm -ivh VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm

Can you please re-format your answer? I think you have mixed command line formatting with normal text – Ahmad Al-Mutawa Nov 01 '18 at 07:53
1. cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ remove unwanted repolist in your repolist directory – Udhayakumar R Nov 01 '18 at 07:56
2. run package-cleanup --leaves to remove the broken and unwanted packages. – Udhayakumar R Nov 01 '18 at 07:57
3. yum update to update the pakages – Udhayakumar R Nov 01 '18 at 07:58
4. Finally rpm -ivh VNC-Server-5.0.5-Linux-x64.rpm to install the VNC in your machine – Udhayakumar R Nov 01 '18 at 07:58
