Lenovo provides yum repositories of relevant software for managing HPC as well as scale out Linux installations in general. This includes xCAT and confluent.

## Adding Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux / AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux

Select the repository appropriate for the major version and architecture (x86\_64 or aarch64).

```
rpm -ivh https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/four/el10/x86_64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.x86_64.rpm
# or, on aarch64:
rpm -ivh https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/four/el10/aarch64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.aarch64.rpm
```

```
rpm -ivh https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/four/el9/x86_64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.x86_64.rpm
# or, on aarch64:
rpm -ivh https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/four/el9/aarch64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.aarch64.rpm
```

```
rpm -ivh https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/latest/el8/x86_64/lenovo-hpc-yum-1-1.x86_64.rpm
```

If using Red Hat, on a new Minimal Install without Red Hat Subscription Manager configured. You will need additional packages from the install media. Follow instructions to add the install media as a repository on [https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1355683](<https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1355683>).

## Adding Repository for Ubuntu Linux

Download our gpg key:

```
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/confluent.gpg https://hpc.lenovo.com/apt/latest/lenovo-hpc.key
```

Create the following apt configuration (e.g. as a file like `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/lenovo-hpc.sources`) if running Ubuntu 24.04 (noble). This repository serves both amd64 (x86\_64) and arm64 (aarch64) architectures from the same URI:

```
Types: deb
URIs: https://hpc.lenovo.com/apt/four/noble
Suites: noble
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/confluent.gpg
```

Then run `apt update` to pull the repository information.

## Adding Repository for SuSE Linux Enterprise 15

```
rpm --import https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/latest/suse15/x86_64/lenovohpckey.pub
zypper install https://hpc.lenovo.com/yum/latest/suse15/x86_64/lenovo-hpc-zypper-1-1.x86_64.rpm
```

## Adding Local Repository

If you cannot reach the repository from your target system, you can download the package from a system that can reach [https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/](<https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/>) and then transfer and install the repositories locally on your target system.

The files may be browsed at [https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/](<https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/>):

```
#On a system that can reach https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/
#Download the package for your specific OS version
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/latest-el9.tar.xz
#or
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/latest-el10.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/
#or
cd /mnt/local_repo/lenovo-hpc-suse15/
./mklocalrepo.sh
```
