For CentOS, that&#8217;s yum. For Debian, it&#8217;s apt-get and so on. If you&#8217;re lucky. Unfortunately, not all useful software is neatly packaged in repositories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/install-tar.gz-in-centos.png\" alt=\"install tar.gz in centos\" width=\"115\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/install-tar.gz-in-centos.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/install-tar.gz-in-centos-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 115px) 100vw, 115px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of it lying wild out there, just waiting to be compiled and installed. In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to install tar.gz files using the traditional manner on a fresh CentOS install.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-way-to-install-tar-gz-files\">The RIGHT Way to Install tar.gz Files<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the reasons why package managers like yum are so useful is that they take care of cleaning up after you&#8217;re done. To uninstall a package, we just need to type:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">yum remove xyz<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, packages in the wild might not be well made. There might not be a default way to remove the package and all its files. Later on, we&#8217;ll show you a safe way to do this so that you can remove packages completely even without an uninstaller. But for now, we&#8217;re going to assume that the package you want to install is well made and adheres to the important coding standards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-permissions-to-compile-and-install-tar-gz-files\">Permissions to Compile and Install tar.gz Files<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The final process of installing these files requires root permissions. If you&#8217;re not logged in as root (and ideally you shouldn&#8217;t be!), then you&#8217;ll need to use the &#8220;sudo&#8221; command. If you don&#8217;t have a user capable of running sudo, then either you create one, or log in as root yourself. So let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662db7e0226c3\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662db7e0226c3\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-1-Install-the-Development-Tools\" title=\"Step 1: Install the Development Tools\">Step 1: Install the Development Tools<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-2-Get-the-URL-of-the-targz-File-to-Download\" title=\"Step 2: Get the URL of the tar.gz File to Download\">Step 2: Get the URL of the tar.gz File to Download<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-3-Download-the-File\" title=\"Step 3: Download the File\">Step 3: Download the File<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-4-Unpacking-targz-into-a-New-Folder\" title=\"Step 4: Unpacking tar.gz into a New Folder\">Step 4: Unpacking tar.gz into a New Folder<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-5-Installing-the-Package\" title=\"Step 5: Installing the Package\">Step 5: Installing the Package<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-6-Running-the-Program\" title=\"Step 6: Running the Program\">Step 6: Running the Program<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-tar-gz-in-centos\/#Step-7-Removing-the-Package\" title=\"Step 7: Removing the Package\">Step 7: Removing the Package<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-install-the-development-tools\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Install-the-Development-Tools\"><\/span>Step 1: Install the Development Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Linux development tools are a bunch of around 100 packages (including dependencies) that are required to compile programs.
