running redhat based SL trying to install a centos rpm package; get message that 'can't open' and so 'skipping'. Is this inherent in trying to install any centos package into SL?

Please show us exactly the command you entered and the error/messages you received. Copy and paste them into [code] tags. (See link in my sig)
is SL 7.8 and this is what I inputted:
sudo yum localinstall /Home/Downloads/wine-core-4.0.4-1.el7.x86_64.rpm and separately: yum localinstall libav-12-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
got same reply on both: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, refresh-packagekit, upgrade-helper Cannot open: /Home/Download/wine-core-etc Skipping Nothing to do
wine is available in the epel repository which is compatible with SL. Do you have to install locally or do you have access to the internet with this system?
tried both the rpm and file commands but got that couldn't find either the wine or libav, despite having found them earlier but unable to open; got the wine-core installed through epel but doesn't register on system; believe something amiss with my SL install; will keep trying; thanks for your efforts.
Your error says "/Home/Download/wine-core-etc", but the directory name seems odd. Do you actually have a directory "/Home"? Normally it would be "/home".
Assumed that I had redone that properly,but couldn't be sure so redid it all properly, and got same 'lack' of result, but thank you for formally bringing that to my attention.
