Installing Vault Enterprise RPM package on Linux RHEL & CentOS.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well as CentOS provide the CLI tool yum-utils, which is used to manage repositories, install source or debug packages, and search for information related to application repositories. The command yum-config-manager is to add or manage repositories that you'd like used for installing applications from. run:

sudo yum install -y yum-utils

To add the official HashiCorp Linux repository using yum-config-manager, run:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/hashicorp.repo

You may then use the example commands below to lookup existing RPM packages in the repository.
