How to set up RPMforge (now called Repoforge) repository on CentOS
Repoforge, previously known as RPMforge, maintains a repository of RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux. If you are a RHEL or CentOS user, I strongly suggest you set up Repoforge repository on your system, as it contains many useful software packages that are not available in existing stock repositories.
In order to set up Repoforge repository on CentOS, you first need to know the version of your CentOS as well as the underlying process architecture.
To find out which release version of CentOS you are using:
$ cat
/etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
To check whether your CentOS is 32-bit (i.e., i686) or 64-bit
(i.e., x86_64) based:
$ uname -a
Linux centos.domain 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Now that you know enough about your CentOS system, let's go
ahead and install RPMforge on CentOS.
For 32-bit CentOS 6.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
For 64-bit CentOS 6.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
For 32-bit CentOS 5.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
For 64-bit CentOS 5.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Once RPMforge is
installed on your system, you can use yum to install all available
packages from the Repoforge repo.
Set up EPEL on CentOS 7
Starting from CentOS 7, EPEL release RPM
package is available in "extras" repo. Therefore, simply use yum command to set up EPEL repository on these platforms:
$ sudo yum install epel-release
Set up EPEL on CentOS 6 or Earlier
For earlier versions of CentOS, you can use rpm command to download and install a RPM file manually as
follows.
For CentOS/RHEL 6.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
For CentOS/RHEL 5.*:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
During installation,
you may see the following warning, which indicates that EPEL's GPG key is
missing.
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.3TKM2G: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
The EPEL's official
GPG key is found in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg. Go ahead and import the GPG key as
follows.
$ sudo sudo rpm --import
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 (for CentOS 6)
$ sudo sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 (for CentOS 7)
$ sudo sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 (for CentOS 7)
To verify that EPEL
repository has been set up successfully, run the following command to list all
available repositories on your system.
$ yum repolist
