Synthetic ActiveGate and Chromium installation

We are installing Synthetic ActiveGate and Chromium installation in our project. As part of financial account, we don't have Redhat subscription and internet access from our servers, when we install Synthetic ActiveGate and Chromium, it is throwing errors and then we download packages and install. Is there is way to identify all the dependency packages before we start installation?

On Red Hat, dependencies of the rpm packages can be checked with yum or dnf, on a machine that does have the Red Hat subscription and is connected to the internet. This will not install Chromium, just provide a list of dependencies. 

Before collecting the dependencies, enable the required repositories and unpack the Chromium archive.

Run the following command:

dnf deplist ./chromium*rpm | grep provider | sort -u | awk '{print $2}'

We don't have any redhat server which have redhat subscription and connected to internet. This is due to pci security.

In that case, I wouldn't recommend using Red Hat. There are usually a large number of files that are needed as dependencies, and without and easy way to find them this can be a slow, painful process. Do you have other Linux OS machines that you can connect to the internet, perhaps you could use one of those OS instead. 

As a last resort, for the list of dependencies you can ask in a support ticket and support can then build a machine to run the command for you.
