[SOLVED] Specifying download dir with yum downloadonly

Issue

I'm trying to run the following:

yum reinstall glibc --downloadonly --downloaddir=/root/dependencies/

But it keeps giving me an error that --downloaddir is not a valid option though I've seen others use it around the web. I'm using RHEL Workstation 5.5. Is there another way to specify the downloaddir?

Thanks

Solution

first install yumdownloader

yum install yumdownloader
