yum on vps

[jwserra]

Is it possible that yum is not installed on my vps?

rpm -q yum returns not installed... but I'm not sure if that is exactly how the rpm is referenced?

TIA,

Hi John,

Yum is not installed by default, that's correct. You can either ask our support department to install it for you, but alternatively you could do it yourself using these commands:

wget dehe.com/cpinstall/centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/libxml2-python-2.6.16-6.i386.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/rpm-python-4.3.3-11_nonptl.i386.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm dehe.com/cpinstall/yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm libxml2-python-2.6.16-6.i386.rpm python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm rpm-python-4.3.3-11_nonptl.i386.rpm yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm

Thanks Andre...

It worked just fine... I had actually found instructions @ http://wiki.garylaw.net/doku.php?id=...unix:linux:yum
Nice to know there is a speedy repository close by.
