In order to install the Yum package manager on your CentOS VPS you will need to run these commands as root:
[root@server~]# wget
http://www.blacknight.com/downloads/yum_install_c5.sh[root@server~]# chmod +x yum_install_c5.sh
[root@server~]# ./yum_install_c5.sh
At this point some RPM stuff will be output. You can then update the install using the following command and following the onscreen instructions:
[root@server~]# yum upgrade
To search for packages like apache and php etc try:
[root@server~]# yum search apache
[root@server~]# yum search php
Then to install one of the resulting packages
[root@server~]# yum install "package name"
E.g: [root@server~]# yum install httpd
You can also find the file that automates the install of Yum in our downloads section at:
