[root@dev1 ~]# pwd
/root
[root@dev1 ~]# mkdir repo

[root@dev1 repo]# pwd
/root/repo


4. Copy Packages from ISO cd to the folder created above (Step 3)

[root@dev1 RHEL-7.3 Server.x86_64]# cp Packages/* /root/repo/

....
....

[After files are copies]

[root@dev1 repo]# pwd
/root/repo
[root@dev1 repo]# ls -ltr *.rpm | wc -l
4751
[root@dev1 repo]#


5. Install createrepo package
[root@dev1 repo]# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.9.9-26.el7.noarch.rpm
