    The realpath is not a package, it is a binary as part of coreutils

    # dnf repoquery --whatprovides /opt/freeware/bin/realpath  --latest-limit=1
    coreutils-0:9.5-1.ppc

    This package has quite a few dependencies. The AIX Toolbox team recommends using DNF to install and manage Open Source software packages and dependencies

    As noted on the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software download site, the open source packages are not supported through IBM support; however, an "AIX Open Source Software Forum" is available on the IBM Community. 
     
     
    The team is generally very responsive and should be able to assist with your issue, or provide further guidance if other support is required. 
    They work in the India Standard Time zone (IST), so their updates are not usually made during other business hours, however users around the world often respond to questions . Please communicate directly through the forum, since the IBM Support teams do not actively monitor or engage in these threads.
     
    Since the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software is not supported through IBM support cases, I will cancel the case now.  I have included some helpful references at the end of this update.
     
    If AIX related issues are discovered, you can easily reopen this case for 30 days, using the following instructions: 
     
    1) Go to:
     
    2) Locate the case you wish to re-open.
     
    3) You can use the drop-down selections to filter list of cases.
     
    4) Open specific case and use the "Reopen case" button in case status area.                                                                     
    Note: Closed cases are archived after 30 days of closure. If the "Reopen case" button is not visible, open a new case and reference the old case number.

    It's really best if you just paste the output in the thread, so people don't have to open attachments, especially if we use mobile devices. Anyway, the error is DNF is not found, which means you need to add the path to your environment,

    /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

    which command searches in the user's PATH. If /opt/freeware/bin is not in the user's PATH environment variable it will not be able to find it.

    Add /opt/freeware/bin in your PATH and see.

    Please go thru which commands help for more info.

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply ,

    Please suggest to run comand for without /opt/freeware/bin/ path add in the every comand 

    Here in the aix server we are running comand with  /opt/freeware/bin/ path 

    suppose if i want to see realpath version we are running comand with path /opt/freeware/bin/realpath --version then we are getting output of the realpath version .

    same for the which comand we are running   #which  /opt/freeware/bin/realpath  then getting output
