Install jack-rack RPM Package Using yum On CentOS Linux

The other day we were toying around with filtering out the horn noises from the World Cup matches streaming from ESPN. We found some instructions dealing with Fedora but many of the packages that were recommended were not available for CentOS. One of those packages was jack-rack which can be downloaded and installed using the information below.

I always like to download packages to /usr/local/src so every package downloaded is organized in this directory in case you need to see packages you have installed in the past for any reason.

Download jack-rack From Stanford Planet CCRMA Repo:

[root@dev src]# wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/centos/linux/planetccrma/5/i386/jack-rack-1.4.6-3.el5.ccrma.i386.rpm

After downloading the jack-rack RPM from the CCRMA site you will then need to install it. Issue the below command from the /usr/local/src directory. This command includes a couple of switches that are important including the –nogpgcheck since the package is unsigned and we don’t have the GPG Key as well as the “localinstall” switch to specify that the package is being installed from a local directory instead of fetched from a yum repository.
