[SOLVED] No Install group file - CentOS 7 - group install

Issue

I am using CentOS image inside a docker container every yum install <package-name> works but when i try to run

yum groupinstall "Development tools"

it just raise error saying:

There is no installed groups file. Maybe run: yum groups mark convert (see man yum)

Here is my Dockerfile

# Starting from base CentOS image
FROM centos:7

RUN yum install -y epel-release
RUN yum install -y http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
RUN yum groupinstall -y "Development tools"

Can some one suggest possible solution to this? I have never experienced any such issue in normal CentOS but seen that first time in docker

Solution

Doing the following may work, and is consistent with your error message:

yum groups mark install "Development Tools"
yum groups mark convert "Development Tools"
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
