Trying to install Git on RHEL7 Server

Latest response

I am trying to install git on the RHEL7 server but we are getting the following error:

[root@rhel73 ~]# yum install devtoolset-2-vc
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
No package devtoolset-2-vc available.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@rhel73 ~]#

Can someone please add some input to this

Likely, you don't have a yum repository configured that contains a devtoolset-2-vc RPM.

Git is available from the rhel-7-server-rpms repo:

yum provides git
Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
git-1.8.3.1-4.el7.x86_64 : Fast Version Control System
Repo        : rhel-7-server-rpms

git-1.8.3.1-5.el7.x86_64 : Fast Version Control System
Repo        : rhel-7-server-rpms

git-1.8.3.1-6.el7.x86_64 : Fast Version Control System
Repo        : rhel-7-server-rpms

git-1.8.3.1-6.el7_2.1.x86_64 : Fast Version Control System
Repo        : rhel-7-server-rpms

git-1.8.3.1-6.el7_2.1.x86_64 : Fast Version Control System
Repo        : @rhel-7-server-rpms

If you wanna install just git, you could do it by installing the package called git from the rhel-7-server-rpms repo. To check if this repo is enabled review the output of the command yum repolist enabled.

Ensure rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms repository is enabled. A newer devtoolset-3 is available to yum install.
