Replicate these steps using the needed adapter package, in order to install adapters other than the example given here.

  1. Verify the repo file contains the repos up to and including the release of interest.
    [tpx-admin@engage log]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/vocera.repo
    #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    # accordance to process QOP-75-01 Production Work Order and History Record, contact your
    # manager for questions.

    (2/2): Quartz/primary_db                                                                                                             |  29 kB  00:00:00
  3. Verify the package is available, using the following command:
    [tpx-admin@engage log] $ sudo yum list available | grep extension 
    		extension-navicare-interface.x86_64                  1.3.6-0           Platform 5.0
  4. Install the needed adapter; in this example, install the Navicare adapter:
    [tpx-admin@engage log] $ sudo yum install extension-navicare-interface
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
