Setting Up Package Installation RPMFORGE

After successful installation of Linux OS, many of the commonly used applications cannot be installed using yum. We have to configure the repositories or set-up packages. The easiest way to do it.

To configure your system so that you can install packages from rpmforge, follow these instructions:

   1. Open a Terminal.

   2. Become root:
      su -

   3. Run the following command:
      yum --nogpgcheck install http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Note: Tested in Fedora and Cent OS
