Installing RPMforge

RPMforge is a collaboration of Dag and other packagers. They provide over 5000 packages for CentOS, including wine, vlc, mplayer, xmms-mp3, and other popular media tools. It is not part of Red Hat or CentOS but is designed to work with those
distributions. See also
Using RPMforge and Repoforge.


Note: Because this repository is
NOT part of CentOS, you should direct support questions to its maintainers at the
Repoforge Users mailing list.

Packages are supplied in RPM format and in most cases are ready to use. The default RPMforge repository does not replace official CentOS base packages.

Install DAG's GPG key

If you get an error message like the following the key has already been imported:

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


Verify the package you have downloaded

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



Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database. As long as you have verified the
md5sum of the key injection package, and trust Dag, et al., then it should be as safe as your trust of them extends.

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


This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.

Then try to install something like this

yum install htop
