Re: [Open-scap] OSCAP Scanner Binaries

[Gary Gapinski]

In addition to executable binaries (and libraries), there are ancillary files that must accompany the binaries. These could be extracted from an RPM and manually deployed. But: why not just use the rpm command to install the related RPMs?

In order to get that, I need to run “yum install openscap-scanner”   My question here is, though I understand that the scanner comes a rpm bundle here, is there a way I can just get the binaries directly rather than using “yum”… so that I can place the oscap binaries in a folder and run the commands by using the files in this folder.   Is this possible? Any thoughts?   Thanks in advance.   Regards, Bharath M _______________________________________________ Open-scap-list mailing list Open-scap-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/open-scap-list   -- MIKE HARRIS CONSULTANT, RHCE, CISSP Red Hat  mhar...@redhat.com    M: (702)518-7467     gpg keyid: 4096R/48550583 gpg fingerprint: B358 9572 B772 ECF6 643D 3EF5 D10C 3012 4855 0583 TRIED.
