Overview

YUM is a package manager for CentOS, the operating system provided with your (dv) Dedicated-Virtual Server. It allows automatic software installation, including software dependencies, and updates. YUM is the recommended method for installing software on your server.

Requirements

Instructions

  • Verify your CentOS version using the following command: 
    cat /etc/*release*

    If your CentOS version is 4.6, then proceed to the following step.

  • Install YUM and all dependencies. You can run each line separately if you want to confirm it separately as it prompts your download and installation, or you can copy and paste the whole string of commands and they should execute one after the other.

    rpm -Uvh http://vault.centos.org/4.6/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://vault.centos.org/4.6/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.i386.rpm
