2. Download DAG’s GPG key :<\/p>\n
\n[root@rhel6 ~]# wget http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\n--2012-03-12 03:41:16--  http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\nResolving apt.sw.be... 193.1.193.67\nConnecting to apt.sw.be|193.1.193.67|:80... connected.\nHTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK\nLength: 1672 (1.6K) [text\/plain]\nSaving to: \u00e2RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\u00e2\n\n100%[==========================================================>] 1,672       --.-K\/s   in 0.007s\n\n2012-03-12 03:41:18 (249 KB\/s) - \u00e2RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\u00e2\n<\/pre>\n
3. Install DAG’s GPG key :<\/p>\n
\n[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\n<\/pre>\n
4. Verify the rpmforge-release package you have downloaded :<\/p>\n
\n[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm\nrpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK\n<\/pre>\n

\n[root@rhel6 ~]# vi \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/rpmforge.repo\n<\/pre>\n
\n### Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for RHEL 6 - dag\n### URL: http:\/\/rpmforge.net\/\n[rpmforge]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/rpmforge\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge\nenabled = 1\npriority=3\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n\n[rpmforge-extras]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - extras\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/extras\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge-extras\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge-extras\nenabled = 0\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n\n[rpmforge-testing]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - testing\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/testing\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge-testing\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge-testing\nenabled = 0\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n<\/pre>\n
7. Check the updated repository list in \/etc\/yum.repos.d using the following command :<\/p>\n
\n[root@rhel6 ~]# yum repolist\nLoaded plugins: rhnplugin\nThis system is not registered with RHN.\nRHN support will be disabled.\nrepo id                                 repo name                                             status\nDVD-RHEL6-Repository                    DVD-RHEL6 repository                                  2,646\nrpmforge                                RHEL 6Server - RPMforge.net - dag                     4,289\nrepolist: 6,935\n<\/pre>\n
8. You can start using RPMforge Repository on your RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 linux server.<\/p>\n
Start install, remove and update using RPMforge :<\/p>\n
\n[root@rhel6 ~]# yum install package-name -y\n[root@rhel6 ~]# yum remove package-name -y\n[root@rhel6 ~]# yum update package-name -y\n<\/pre>\n
