引言：
CentOS自带的yum源中rpm包数量有限，很多时候找不到我们需的软件包，（例如：要安装网络连接查看软件iftop，默认设置下无法使用yum命令安装），下面教大家在CentOS 6.2中（以32位系统为例，64位系统安装方法一样），使用第三方yum源来安装更多软件包。
使用 yum repolist 命令可以查看系统已经安装好的yum源
注意：下载第三方的yum源的安装包的时候要注意看自己的系统是多少位的：
查看linux机器是32位还是64位的方法：
file /sbin/init 或者 file /bin/ls
/sbin/init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped
如果显示 64-bit 则为64位；
file /sbin/init
/sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
如果显示为32 bit 则为32bit；
uname -a:
uname -a
Linux pmx002**.**.** 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 1 01:33:01 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
x86_64表示64位机器
uname -a
Linux pmx0**.**.** 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
一、安装CentOS yum源优先级插件yum-priorities
yum -y install yum-priorities //（该插件的作用主要是设置调用源时的优先级的，一般将官方的优先级设置为最高）
二、设置CentOS默认yum源的优先级为最高：（如果不设置优先级安装多个Yum源的话可能存在冲突的问题。）
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ #进入yum源目录
vi CentOS-Base.repo #在[base]、[updates]、[extras]组下面添加priority=1，在[centosplus]、[contrib]组下面添加priority=2

备注：priority的优先级为1到99，设置为1即优先级最高，1-10为系统保留，第三方yum源的优先级从11-99
三、安装epel yum源:
64位的epel源下载地址：
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
32位的epel源下载地址：
rpm -ivh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
导入key认证文件：（如果gpgcheck=0则就不需要这步骤）
参数mirrorlist表示的是映射yum容器的url路径（对应的url路径为多个）此路径需要yum程序自行去查找链接地址，如果不适用可以注释掉。
baseurl表示的是YUM容器的实际地址是一个固定的地址。如果不使用的话也可以注释掉。
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo #修改epel yum源优先级，priority=11
###############################################################
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch

七、更新yum软件包
yum check-update
八、安装iftop
yum install iftop
至此，CentOS 第三方yum源配置完成，现在你可以用yum命令安装自己需要的软件了！比如yum install nginx、yum update php等安装或者升级软件包。
