I use RedHat/CentOS 7.

In RHEL 5 and previous versions, yum install only accepted package names from enabled repositories, and did not accept paths to local RPMs; you had to use yum localinstall to install these.

In RHEL 6 and later, yum install accepts both package names and local filenames, so localinstall is no longer necesary, but it's included for backward compatibility.

In RHEL 8, dnf localinstall is simply an alias for dnf install.

In RHEL 6 and 7, what's the difference, if it wasn't simply an alias until 8? Is it that localinstall only accepts paths until 8?

@LightnessRacesinOrbit Right, localinstall was the old code and only accepts local paths through RHEL 7. In 8, the old code is gone and localinstall is simply install.
