Hi Guys!

Is it some repository I'm missing?

Thanks!

GParted is not part of RHEL itself. But it is available from the EPEL.

yum install epel-release -y

Then you can install GParted.

yum install gparted -y

It didn't work to install epel-release like that because it couldn't find it. But with the info you gave me I managed to find this which had info on RHEL 7.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F

So I did:

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-7-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-7-extras-rpms"

And then I could install the gparted package. Thanks!

@Pete-S yum install epel-release absolutely should work.

If I understand correctly yum install epel-release only works on CentOS, not real RHEL.

It was a fresh install too from rhel-server-7.7-x86_64-dvd.iso

I think that's correct, an odd shortcoming of RHEL where CentOS is easier and more straightforward. A trivial thing to add to RHEL, but bizarre that it's left out in that way.

Ah, you are correct. I skimmed the RHEL bit. Totally my bad.
