5. Installing the RPMForge YUM Repository

1. Use the following links to download the packages :

2. Install DAG's GPG key using the command :
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

3. Verify the package you have downloaded using the command :
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm

4. Install the package using the command : 
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm
This command will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.

5. Then use the following command : yum install htop
