Note

The following procedure assumes that yum on your system is configured to expect to find repository files in the default /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

To download the Oracle public yum repository configuration file:

As root, change directory to /etc/yum.repos.d.
```
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
```
Use the wget utility to download the repository configuration file that is appropriate for your system.
```
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-release.repo
```
For Oracle Linux 6, enter:
```
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
```
The /etc/yum.repos.d directory is updated with the repository configuration file, in this example, public-yum-ol6.repo.
You can enable or disable repositories in the file by setting the value of the enabled directive to 1 or 0 as required.
