Use RPMforge installation source (software repository) on CentOS6)

We have been engaged in Debian servers all the time. Today, we are about to get the CentOS of the RedHat system. After the system is installed, you can use yuminstallhtop to install your favorite htop Process Manager. as a result, yum prompts that htop cannot be found. it seems that the software source is missing. After searching online, I found a powerful stuff, RPMforge, which is a combination of Dag, Dries and other software packages. They provide over 5000 software packages for CentOS, including win

We have been engaged in Debian servers all the time. Today, we are about to get the CentOS of the RedHat system. The system is ready for useYum install htopIf you want to install your favorite htop Process Manager, yum prompts that the htop cannot be found. it seems that the software source is missing.

After searching online, I found a powerful stuff, RPMforge, which is a combination of Dag, Dries and other software packages. They provide over 5000 software packages for CentOS, including wine, vlc, mplayer, xmms-mp3 and other popular media tools.

In fact, the CentOS official document "Installing RPMforge" also provides the introduction of this software and the installation process. for details, refer to the following. I will briefly introduce the installation process, which is a memo.

First import the dag gpg key:

rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

If the following error message is displayed, it indicates that the key has been imported, so proceed with the following steps:

 

error: http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt: key 1 import failed.

Download and verify the RPMforge software package:

# The following address applies to CentOS 6, for other versions, please refer to the official documentation # if it is i686 system, please wget the following address RPM package wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm# if it is x86_64 system, please wget the RPM package below the address wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm rpm-K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf. *. rpm

After the verification is completed, run the following command to install it:

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm

An example is provided at the end of the official document.Yum install htopWell, isn't this the htop I want? Install it :-)

It is worth noting that the RPMforge software warehouse is not a part of the Red Hat Linux product or CentOS, but it is designed for these releases, if you have any questions or technical support problems, contact RPMforge's maintenance personnel.
