RHEL 6 and CentOS 6: EPEL
Some of the listed rpms are only available through EPEL. Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL).
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F
$ rpm -Uvh http://fedora.uib.no/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
Best practice will be to disable EPEL by default and only enable it for specific rpm installs with the yum option "--enablerepo=epel
". To disable it, set "enabled=0
" in "/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
".

RHEL 6.1: The Certificate-based RHN
If upgrading from RHEL 6 to RHEL 6.1, you would like to use the new subscription system:
For a first-time certificate-based RHN registration:
Run the command
subscription-manager register
- Log into https://access.redhat.com/management/consumers/
- Click on the registered system in the consumer list
- Find the list of available subscriptions
- Subscribe to the relevant subscriptions
Run the command
subscription-manager subscribe --auto
Run the command
yum update
and all subscribed repos will be configured
With the certificate-based RHN, additional channels are not added through manual configuration. Additional rpm repositories are listed in /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo
, but are disabled by default. Yum install using the --enablerepo
option and notice that the repositories may look different based on the installed product.
$ yum --enablerepo=rhel-6-server-optional-rpms install php-process
RHEL 6.0: The classic RHN
- Log into Red Hat Network
- Click on "Channels" in the menu bar.
- Click "Red Hat Optional Server 6", "target systems" and enable this channel for your server
