You will have to manually overwrite the old file. Note that wgetР’В doesnРІР‚в„ўt overwrite the original but saves the new version with an.

To be able to upgrade to UEK 5, the new version, I have to enable that repository ( ol7_UEKR5) for yumР’В so that it can see the new packages, download them and perform the upgrade.

The ol7_latestР’В repository for the latest releases of OL7 core packages.

The ol7_addonsР’В repository for various addons such as Docker Engine.

The ol7_UEKR4 repository for UEK4 updates.

In my example I have three repositories configured: Ol7_UEKR4/x86_64 Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 for Oracle Linux 7Server (x86_64) 704 So letРІР‚в„ўs see what the current repository list for yum looks like by heading over to a terminal as root and type yum ~]# yum repolist You will need to have access to the root user as this upgrade can only be performed by root.Р”Р„s a first step itРІР‚в„ўs always good to check what you already have.

Of course, once in a while I have to update my Linux version as well to make sure that my Linux environment remains on the latest and greatest. Oracle Linux just makes a lot of sense for me as we run everything on Oracle Linux internally and in general it is a solid Linux distribution. My VM runs Oracle Linux (OL) on VirtualBox. However, for work and various other reasons I always tend to have a VM with Linux on my Mac to test, run, script things. In general I work almost exclusively on Macs these days.
