Install REMI Repository On RHEL / CentOS

Please be mindful that you should use REMI repository along with EPEL repository. Otherwise you may end up with dependency problem sometimes.

On Enterprise Linux 6 i386 or x86_64:

# wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

# rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm

# for RHEL only

# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-$(uname -i)-server-optional-6

On Enterprise Linux 5 i386 or x86_64:

# wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm

# rpm -Uvh remi-release-5.rpm

Enable REMI repository

Edit file remi.repo,

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

Find the line enabled =0 and change it to 1 to enable REMI repository.

[...]

enabled=1

[...]

Save and close the file.

Now list out the installed repositories with command:

# yum repolist
