The docker has released a new version of centos 8, so I try to use it with Dockerfile to build a new environment but I got some error message

Dockerfile content

FROM centos
RUN yum install

when I ran the above command, it got an error.

so I am going to the container and try to use a command line to check what is going on, and then I found the error when I try to use the command line "yum install" as the following picture.

FROM centos
RUN yum install -y glibc-langpack-en

Centos shell script
