安装lsb_release

lsb_release命令用来查看当前系统的发行版信息（prints certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and Distribution information.）。有了这个命令就可以清楚的知道到底是RedHat的、还是别的发行版，还有具体的版本号，比如3.4还是5.4等等。有些系统上不一定安装了这个命令，可以通过查看/etc/issue文件得到发行版信息。

例如

[root@localhost ~]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
Release: 7.2.1511
Codename: Core

但是如果没有这个的话，直接通过命令行yum install lsb_release安装的结果是这样的：

[root@localhost bin]# yum install lsb_release
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirrors.cn99.com
* extras: mirrors.cn99.com
* updates: centos.ustc.edu.cn
No package lsb_release available.
Error: Nothing to do

自己安装的经历，找了好多博客，最后这样成功了：

1.查找哪个源包含这个命令

[root@localhost ~]# yum provides */lsb_release
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirrors.cn99.com
* extras: mirrors.cn99.com
* updates: centos.ustc.edu.cn
base/7/x86_64/filelists_db | 6.7 MB 00:00:04
extras/7/x86_64/filelists_db | 528 kB 00:00:00
updates/7/x86_64/filelists_db | 3.0 MB 00:00:07
redhat-lsb-core-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.i686 : LSB Core module support
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/bin/lsb_release

redhat-lsb-core-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.x86_64 : LSB Core module support
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/bin/lsb_release

2.从上面的输出可以看到redhat-lsb-core-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.x86_64 这个package包含这个命令，那就安装这个包。

[root@localhost ~]# yum install redhat-lsb-core-4.1-27.el7.centos.1.x86_64
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirrors.cn99.com
* extras: mirrors.cn99.com
* updates: centos.ustc.edu.cn
