Centos – Equivalent yum command for `apt-get install -y packagename –no-upgrade`

aptcentosinstallationpackage-managementyum

I was using this command in a shell script on my ubuntu server apt-get install -y packagename --no-upgrade . It will install the package if it is not already present. It will not upgrade the package. Now I want to migrate it to a centos machine. I couldn't find any switch equivalent to --no-upgrade in yum. Any help?

There is no such option for yum.
You will have to work around it with something like this:

rpm --quiet -q packagename || yum -y install packagename

Or, after your have installed the package:

Edit: If you do not have aptitude, you can use

apt-mark auto zlib1g-dev

How to get the history of “apt-get install” on Ubuntu

The apt history is in /var/log/apt/history.log as said in a comment above. That said, this will not list packages that were installed manually, using dpkg or GUIs such as gdebi. To see all the packages that went through dpkg, you can look at /var/log/dpkg.log.
