Unable to install PostgreSQL 9.5/PostGIS 2.3 on CentOS 7 - linux

On my CentOS 7 (x86_64) machine, I am trying to install PostgreSQL 9.5/PostGIS 2.3 via PostgreSQL's yum repository, using this tutorial.
According to the tutorial, when I proceed to the second step.
sudo rpm -ivh http://yum.postgresql.org/9.5/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos95-9.5-2.noarch.rpm
It says:
Retrieving http://yum.postgresql.org/9.5/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos95-9.5-2.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
package pgdg-centos95-9.5-3.noarch (which is newer than pgdg-centos95-9.5-2.noarch) is already installed
Then, I try to see which packages are available in this rpm:
sudo yum list | grep pgdg95
I get,
libevent.x86_64 2.0.22-1.rhel7 #pgdg95
python-babel.noarch 1.3-1.rhel7 #pgdg95
python-jinja2.noarch 2.8-7.rhel7 #pgdg95
python-markupsafe.x86_64 0.23-11.rhel7 #pgdg95
Which is not according to the step number 3 in the installation tutorial. Can someone please suggest me what's wrong with the installation or are there any alternative ways to install PostgreSQL 9.5/PostGIS 2.3?

Please make sure you have both pgdg and EPEL repositories installed by running sudo yum repolist. If EPEL is not in the list, just install it sudo yum install epel-release.

Please refer to this ANSWER.
Check yum list postgres*
If you see desired packages it is great.
If you still don't see desired packages then follow given steps in given answer,
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
# yum localinstall http://yum.postgresql.org/9.5/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos95-9.5-2.noarch.rpm
# yum list postgres*
If you check step two, we can see it does local install after this local installation, you should be ideally able to see desired list.
Hope it helps !

Enable EPEL repository in CentOS 7

I tried to enabled my EPEL repository in my CentOS system because some packages were not available in the official CentOS 7 repository.
I followed this tutorial:
http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/
and followed RHEL/CentOS 7 64 Bit part.
I tried
RHEL/CentOS 7 64-Bit
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
But I get this error:
resolving dl.fedoraproject.org (dl.fedoraproject.org)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address dl.fedoraproject.org
Do any of you know how to fix this?
I tried googling it but did not point me to the right answer.
As mentioned in "Is there any reason for a successful yum update to cause a subsequent wget to fail?", you might want to try:
sudo yum update
sudo wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
Take a look in the comment of chicks (https://stackoverflow.com/users/2002471). For me this was the answer I was looking for:
yum install epel-release
The links to fedora seem to change time by time. I found links to epel-release-7-5, others to epel-release-7, current (2/2018) seems to be epel-release-7-9.

How to resolve dependencies while installing application on linux (CentOS 7.1)

When I tried install deluge on my CentOS 7.1 I was facing dependecy problems due to some el6 which are not meant for CentOS 7.1. So, I found this page:
https://gist.github.com/dasgoll/111f6f3364e2ab97bc08
His instructions:
Centos 7.1
yum -y install wget wget hxxp://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
yum -y install deluge-web
systemctl start deluge-web
systemctl stop firewalld
browse http://192.168.3.101:8112
check it
yum install deluge-console
And my question is: Why he installed "nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm" from li.nux.ro (if I'm not wrong it's a repository, correct me if I'm)? Because I had this dependency problem earlier when I tried installing deluge. But when I used his instructions it resolved all the dependencies automatically for me. So does this rpm file he installed on the first place was for resolving dependencies? If not then how can one work around with dependencies while installing a piece of software/application. Than You in advance.
P.S. I asked the same question in comments there too. But I'm uncertain of receiving reply there (no offence for the guy/girl - dasgoll).
Third party package repos will often use a *-release package to contain both a yum repo definition and a rpm signing public key so that end users can install packages directly from the repo using yum instead of having to find and then download them one by one.

xz compression install on centos

Any installation or update using yum command I ended up error: Error: xz compression not available. On website I read that Python library is missing. When you try to install a library (sudo yum update pyliblzma) again failed with error. Do not know how? Thanks.
This problem comes if you installed a wrong epel release on your machine. If so, then you need to remove the epel release by
yum remove epel-release
Sometimes that is not enough, you need to remove the cache as well by:
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/epel
Then you can install the epel-release again
yum -y install epel-release
You need install the EPEL repository by downloading the appropriate RPM package for your system and installing it. For example, for CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x:
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-6*.rpm
If you get a File Not Found error message when trying to download the package, the version number might have changed. You can access the latest version of the RPM installer from the Fedora EPEL wiki page. The wiki page also includes additional instructions for Red Hat Network subscribers who are installing the EPEL repository.
Finally, install the Python library:
yum install pyliblzma
This works perfecly in my CentOS 6.x.
I've found a solution on this page of stackexchange, working in CentOS 6.X:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/314756
sudo rpm -e epel-release-7-5.noarch
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
sudo yum clean all
sudo rpmdb -v --rebuilddb
sudo yum -y install libselinux-python
I was also suffering from this issue..
If you are installing packages but it is already available on your system.
Remove existing packages and then try to install new.
It will work properly...
I was able to solve this problem by installing pyliblzma using rpm instead of yum as yum is not working.
Find pyliblzma rpm package according to your architecture and install it using the command.
rpm -Uvh pyliblzma-version-release.architecture.rpm
I used the following command to install pyliblzma for my 64 bit Redhat 6.8 machine. Please check URL in the command and make changes accordingly.
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/pyliblzma-0.5.3-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
In my case the issue was caused by missing modules in python's site-packages directory. Here's what I did:
$ rpm -Va
to get a list of all files belonging to all rpms that do not verify. I got a bunch of messages about missing modules:
missing /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/...
Luckily, I had an identical CentOS version elsewhere with all these packages present, so I just copied them over and ran
$ rpmdb -v --rebuilddb
to rebuild rpm database.

how to install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall

just completed installing oracle linux 6 update 2 on my virtual box and i have been trying to install oracle 11gr2 on the same operating system i am following the installation guide but i have encountered some problems when i run this command on my terminal
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
i am getting an error
no package oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall available
error nothing to do
is there any way i am doing this wrongly??how can i install the oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
It seem you don't have oracle repository configured, do following:
As an authorized user (for example, root), retrieve the file that configures repository locations:
$sudo cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$sudo wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
Using a text editor, modify the file, changing the field enabled=0 to enabled=1 to reflect repositories that correspond to the machine's operating system release.
Next, install the oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall RPM using the yum install command.
The output in Listing 1 shows how the installation checks dependencies and then downloads and installs the required packages.
$sudo yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall
mv /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6.repo /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle.repo
I've given :
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64
and works perfectly

Installing RPM Dependencies

I am trying to install dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386 but I get the error
" dbus-libs = 1.1.2-12.el5 is needed by dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386" :-(
So I downloaded "dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm" in the same directory and ran the
command rpm -ivh dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386 again, but I still got the same error. On searching on Forums I found that RPM takes care of dependecies if they are present in the same Directory. but it does not work with -ivh option ??
Steve B is correct:
yum install dbus-libs
yum install dbus
yum will also allow you to do "whatprovides" for a package:
yum whatprovides dbus-libs
This will show you if you have another version of dbus-libs "installed" on your system, it spools out what repos provide the package and is any are provided (installed) locally.
Also helpful is:
rpm -q dbus
which will show any packages that are locally install as will:
rpm -q dbus-libs
or
rpm -qa | grep 'dbus'
You may find that you already have an eariler version of dbus installed, which case:
yum -y update dbus
Hope this helps.
http://www.of-networks.co.uk
You need to install the dependant RPMs before installing dbus. You should also know that this is the hard way, these days RPM-based distributions usually have a dependancy managment system so that you don't need to do this by hand. e.g. on Redhat/Fedora/Centos you can just type "yum install mypackagename".
