AWS Linux - Installing packages (automatically install dependent packages) - linux

Question

I am trying to install Ted (RTF to PDF Convertor) on AWS Linux. Is there any command which will find and install all dependent packages?
I tried below command and referred a couple of posting on StackOverflow but none of those commands are working.
yum install -y http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/ted-2.23-1.x86_64.rpm
I get the below error.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

yum will resolve dependencies automatically, but it can only download these dependencies from available repo's. It's hard to tell which distribution of Linux you're using(since you're using yum it's either Redhat or Centos).
most of the rpm dependencies are available in the base repo's so you just to enable those.
If you're using Centos 7, create a new file /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo and add the following content
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
#

save the file then clean yum cache by running:
yum clean all
Then try to download your rpm again
