The AIX Toolbox team recommends using DNF (the next-generation replacement for YUM) to install and manage Open Source software packages and dependencies from the AIX Toolbox.

• For easy DNF installation, use the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script.
  • The script will download and install the required rpm.rte version, and all the packages needed for DNF.
• Non-AIX Toolbox packages that deliver files available in AIX file sets or AIX Toolbox packages might result in unexpected behavior. It is recommended to remove those non-AIX Toolbox packages.
  • Some common packages include openssl, gcc, db, and libiconv.
• Setting the system LIBPATH to load other paths before /opt/freeware/lib might cause failures for AIX Toolbox applications.
  • If your application has explicit LIBPATH requirements, it is recommended to apply the LIBPATH to the application via a wrapper or configuration file. Do not set a global LIBPATH before loading AIX Toolbox software.

Thank you for your response.

The environment I'm using here wants to install bash on AIX, which doesn't have an internet connection.
To install DNF on AIX with no internet connection and install bash, do I need to download and install the required rpm packages for bash in an internet-enabled environment using DNF?
If so, I would like to know the required rpm package.
Please teach me.
Thank you.

Mr. Brian
Thank you for your reply.

The AIX environment in which we want to install bash is not connected to the internet environment, only a Windows PC can connect to the internet and get the required components.
If so, how do we get the components we need?
Thank you.
