#### Common Use Cases
251+
252+
**UEKR6 repository**
253+
254+
The installation script **does not automatically add** the TuxCare UEKR6 repository. If you plan to use the `kernel-uek` package on your Oracle Linux 7 system, you need to enable the TuxCare UEKR6 repository manually.
255+
256+
* Use an editor of your choice to edit the `/etc/yum.repos.d/oraclelinux7-els.repo` file:
257+
258+
```
259+
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/oraclelinux7-els.repo
260+
```
261+
262+
* Add the following lines there to enable the TuxCare UEKR 6 repository:
263+
264+
```
265+

1. Download an installer script:
319+
320+
```
321+
wget https://repo.tuxcare.com/rhel7-els/install-rhel7-els-repo.sh
322+
```
323+
324+
2. Run the installer script with keys:
325+
326+
```
327+
sh install-rhel7-els-repo.sh --license-key XXXX-XXXXXXXXX
328+
329+
```
330+
331+
The installation script registers the server in the CLN with the key and adds a PGP key to the server.
332+
333+
3. Verify that the installation was successful. To ensure the installation has been completed successfully, run the following command:
334+
335+
```
336+
yum info els-define
337+
```
338+
339+
It should return the info of an available package. If you see information about the package, you can be sure that the installation was successful.
340+
After this, you will be able to install updates from the repository using a regular yum upgrade command.
