Linux : Install Webmin from YUM repository

By | February 11, 2012

Webmin and Usermin can be installed and updated directly through YUM. To achieve this, we need to setup manually the repository.

First, create the .repo file for YUM :

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo

Copy, paste and save the following :

[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum
mirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist
enabled=1

Save the PGP key :

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

Import the key :

rpm --import jcameron-key.asc

You are now all set to install the software :

yum install webmin
yum install usermin

(Packages will be automatically updated each time you run a “yum update”)
