If the system is joined to the Red Hat Network, a Red Hat Satellite Server, or a yum server, run the following command to install updates:
$ sudo yum update
If the system is not configured to use one of these sources, updates (in the form of RPM packages) can be manually downloaded from the Red Hat Network and installed using
rpm
.
NOTE: U.S. Defense systems are required to be patched within 30 days or sooner as local policy dictates.
