I see the following for RHEL 5<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27974630-1">su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm'
...
su -c 'yum install foo'</code></pre>
<br />
So I performed the following:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27974630-2">       wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

       rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm</code></pre>
<br />
It seemed to install sucessfully<br />
<br />
What is meant by the &nbsp;command<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27974630-3">yum install foo</code></pre>
<br />
I tried yum install foo, nothing happens<br />
<br />
Should I replace the 'foo' with something else

Linux, RHEL and EPEL

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
