Error while installing RPMFORGE in CENTOS 7

Question

When i try to install rpmforge (i need to install phpmyadmin) i get this error, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[root@plasticarmy ~]# yum http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

No such command: http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm. Please use /usr/bin/yum --help [root@plasticarmy ~]#

Any help would be great!

Answer 1

Close, but you're missing "install" in the above yum command.

First, if you haven't already, import the key ->

sudo rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Then 'yum install' ->

sudo yum install http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

Answer 2

Try running:

rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

as root and it should work.
