Repository Tambahan untuk Linux Centos - Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)

Linux Centos seperti yang kita ketahui memang tidak memiliki repository selengkap repository milik Ubuntu. Untuk teman-teman yang ingin mencari program atau file linux yang memang kebetulan tidak tersedia pada repository default milik linux Centos, maka dapat melakukan instalasi dari repository tambahan.

Repository tambahan dapat dilihat disini : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

Repository ini bisa digunakan untuk Redhat, Centos, maupun Fedora (saya belum coba di opensuse). Untuk memasang repository ini sangat mudah, kebetulan saya memakai Centos versi 6.

Pertama kali kita harus mendowload terlebih dahulu file repositorynya (sesuaikan dengan versi centos atau redhat yang digunakan) :

[root]# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

Setelah itu tinggal install file yang sudah di download tadi :

[root]# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
warning: epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:epel-release ########################################### [100%]

Instalasi selesai. Setelah itu kita tinggal melakukan instalasi program atau file library yang memang tidak terdapat pada repository default milik Centos. Misalnya "php-mcrypt" yaitu salah satu modul php yang memang tidak terdapat pada repository default milik Centos.

Cara install nya silahkan menggunakan yum :


[root]# yum install php-mcrypt
