#Download the package for your specific OS version
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/latest-el7.tar.xz
#or
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/latest-el8.tar.xz
#or
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/latest-suse15.tar.xz

#On your local system 
#Create folder for the local repository
mkdir /mnt/local_repo

#Extract the repository 
tar -xf latest-el8.tar.xz -C /mnt/local_repo
#or
tar -xf latest-suse15.tar.xz -C /mnt/local_repo

#Create lenovo-hpc.repo to point to the local repository
cd /mnt/local_repo/lenovo-hpc-el8/
