yum install specific version of python package

I want to yum install python-pyside, but I don't want any old/new version of pyside, I want pyside version 1.2.1.

How can I do this?

I currently have:

yum install python-pyside
Solution

  • First check which versions are available in your repos

    yum --showduplicates list python-pyside | expand

    Then use the following to install a specific version that is listed from the command above

    yum install <package name>-<version info>

    Which means if v1.2.1 is available, you would need to run the command:

    yum install python-pyside-1.2.1

    If it's not available then you need to enable a repo which has that version.
