Installing any new packages might require updated dependencies hence it is very important to keep your server updated.
[root@localhost ~]# yum update -y --> Running transaction check ---> Package ansible.noarch 0:2.9.10-1.el7 will be updated ---> Package ansible.noarch 0:2.9.14-1.el7 will be an update ---> Package ca-certificates.noarch 0:2019.2.32-76.el7_7 will be updated ---> Package ca-certificates.noarch 0:2020.2.41-70.0.el7_8 will be an update ---> Package curl.x86_64 0:7.29.0-57.el7 will be updated ---> Package curl.x86_64 0:7.29.0-57.el7_8.1 will be an update ---> Package dbus.x86_64 1:1.10.24-13.el7_6 will be updated ---> Package dbus.x86_64 1:1.10.24-14.el7_8 will be an update ---> Package dbus-libs.x86_64 1:1.10.24-13.el7_6 will be updated ---> Package dbus-libs.x86_64 1:1.10.24-14.el7_8 will be an update ---> Package grub2.x86_64 1:2.02-0.81.el7.centos will be updated ---> Package grub2.x86_64 1:2.02-0.86.el7.centos will be an update ---> Package grub2-common.noarch 1:2.02-0.81.el7.centos will be updated ---> Package grub2-common.noarch 1:2.02-0.86.el7.centos will be an update ---> Package grub2-pc.x86_64 1:2.02-0.81.el7.centos will be updated
Step 3: Install Python3 on RHEL/CentOS 7/8
Googler has dependency on python3 so you need to first install python3 package on the Server using yum install python3 -y command as specified below.
[root@localhost ~]# yum install python3 -y Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in * epel: mirror.telkomuniversity.ac.id * extras: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in * updates: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package python3.x86_64 0:3.6.8-13.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: python3-libs(x86-64) = 3.6.8-13.el7 for package: python3-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: python3-setuptools for package: python3-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: python3-pip for package: python3-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libpython3.6m.so.1.0()(64bit) for package: python3-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package python3-libs.x86_64 0:3.6.8-13.el7 will be installed ---> Package python3-pip.noarch 0:9.0.3-7.el7_7 will be installed ---> Package python3-setuptools.noarch 0:39.2.0-10.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: python3 x86_64 3.6.8-13.el7 base 69 k Installing for dependencies: python3-libs x86_64 3.6.8-13.el7 base 7.0 M python3-pip noarch 9.0.3-7.el7_7 updates 1.8 M python3-setuptools noarch 39.2.0-10.el7 base 629 k Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================================================================================== Install 1 Package (+3 Dependent packages) Total download size: 9.4 M Installed size: 48 M Downloading packages: (1/4): python3-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64.rpm | 69 kB 00:00:00 (2/4): python3-setuptools-39.2.0-10.el7.noarch.rpm | 629 kB 00:00:01 (3/4): python3-libs-3.6.8-13.el7.x86_64.rpm | 7.0 MB 00:00:01 (4/4): python3-pip-9.0.3-7.el7_7.noarch.rpm | 1.8 MB 00:00:01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total 5.1 MB/s | 9.4 MB 00:00:01 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

NOTE:
EPEL repository by using yum install epel-release -y command if it is not installed and enabled already.Step 4: Install Googler on RHEL/CentOS 7/8
Once we have python3 installed on the Server, you can now install googler from below rpm command. Since in this article I am using CentOS 7.7 Server so I will choose my rpm package accordingly from GITHUB link and install it using rpm -ivh <Googler_rpm_package> command.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh https://github.com/jarun/googler/releases/download/v4.3.1/googler-4.3.1-1.el7.7.centos.x86_64.rpm Retrieving https://github.com/jarun/googler/releases/download/v4.3.1/googler-4.3.1-1.el7.7.centos.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:googler-4.3.1-1.el7 ################################# [100%]
Step 5: Verify Googler Package Installation
You can verify the installation by querying the googler package from RPMDB using rpm -qa | grep -i googler command as shown below.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i googler googler-4.3.1-1.el7.x86_64
Step 6: Check googler version
If you want to check the googler version then you can use googler -v command as shown below. As you can see from below output, current googler version is 4.3.1.
[root@localhost ~]# googler -v 4.3.1
Step 7: Remove Googler Package from RHEL/CentOS 7/8
If you want to remove googler package from RHEL/CentOS 7/8 then you need to use rpm -ev googler command as shown below.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ev googler Preparing packages... googler-4.3.1-1.el7.x86_64
