CentOS/RedHat: installing the Elrepo repository

Practice



Elrepo is a repository containing various drivers not included "out of the box" with Linux CentOS / Red Hat. Drivers for controllers, various sound cards, webcams, network cards, etc.

In short, a useful repository.

So, let's install it.

$ sudo rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org


CentOS/RedHat 5.x

$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-3.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm


CentOS/RedHat 6.x

$ sudo rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm


You can find the latest version or link on the site itself: http://elrepo.org


Verification

Well, that's about it. Let's check that the repository shows up in Linux:

$ sudo yun repolist | grep elrepo

Found it? If so - everything's okay, the repository is installed.
