How to install GCC using yum in Linux

If the server is your own and the machine is around, nothing should be said. If GCC is missing, re-install the installation disk and install the development kit. However, if it is a rented server and the hosting service provider does not understand what you say about GCC, it is too troublesome to install GCC. You have to find the GCC-related package. The version number must be matched, otherwise it is not compatible. Recently, it was a headache to install GCC for a friend. Later I found that Yum, a good thing, only needs to execute one command, and all the troubles are relieved.

My friend's system is from centos 5. The supervisor did not install GCC, so we can use the following two commands to install GCC and GCC-C ++:

 

Yum-y install gcc

Yum-y install gcc-C ++

Yum automatically finds the dependent packages of the software and automatically downloads and installs the software. The entire process is easy and enjoyable. Record it here.
