# Install on CentOS/Red Hat with yum

This page describes the recommended instructions for installing the latest stable version of `rippled` on **CentOS 7** or **Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7**, using Ripple's [yum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowdog_Updater,_Modified) repository.

These instructions install a binary that has been compiled by Ripple.


## Prerequisites

Before you install `rippled`, you must meet the [System Requirements](system-requirements.html).


## Installation Steps

1. Install the Ripple RPM repository:

    Choose the appropriate RPM repository for the stability of releases you want:

    - `stable` for the latest production release (`master` branch)
    - `unstable` for pre-release builds (`release` branch)
    - `nightly` for experimental/development builds (`develop` branch)

    <!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_START -->

    *Stable*

        cat << REPOFILE | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ripple.repo
        [ripple-stable]
        name=XRP Ledger Packages
        enabled=1
        gpgcheck=0
        repo_gpgcheck=1
        baseurl=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/stable/
