How To Install glibc.i686 on Amazon Linux 2

In this tutorial we learn how to install glibc.i686 in Amazon Linux 2. glibc.i686 is The GNU libc libraries

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install glibc.i686 on Amazon Linux 2.

What is `glibc.i686`

The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function.

We can use yum to install glibc.i686 on Amazon Linux 2. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install glibc.i686.

Install glibc.i686 on Amazon Linux 2 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install glibc.i686 using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install glibc.i686

How To Uninstall glibc.i686 on Amazon Linux 2

To uninstall only the glibc.i686 package we can use the following command:

sudo yum remove glibc.i686
