用过CentOS的人肯定有点不解，CentOS上自带yum，为啥还要安装？因为很多系统上并不一定安装了yum，尤其是vps上，我给客户的vps就经常没有yum，所以对于已经依赖yum的人来说，那还得安装一下的。下面有两种办法可以安装yum：

    一、下载yum的rpm包直接安装

    http://centos.ustc.edu.cn/centos/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

    http://centos.ustc.edu.cn/centos/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

    下载到某个目录之后，执行下面的命令

    rpm -ivh yum*.rpm

    如果提示缺少什么文件的话，请看第二种方法。

    二、通过rpm包来安装

    依次执行下面的命令：

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/elfutils-libs-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/gmp-4.1.4-10.el5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/readline-5.1-3.el5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-2.4.3-27.el5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/expat-1.95.8-8.2.1.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/sqlite-3.3.6-5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/elfutils-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/rpm-python-4.4.2.3-18.el5.i386.rpm # (1)

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/m2crypto-0.16-6.el5.6.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-5.el5.noarch.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.i386.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch.rpm (2)

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch.rpm (2)

    yum -y update

    有些时候单纯的某一种方法并不能安装好yum，那就两者结合起来，一切就OK了。

    都是从网上找到的，谢谢高手的资源。
