OK  there is more to it than that  you need zlib   zlib is part of CentOS  but you need the development form to get zlib h     notice that the yum name of zlib development is quite different possibly than for apt-get on ubuntu debian  what follows actually works with my CentOS version   in particular  you do   configure on git  then try make  and the first build fails with missing zlib h  I used a two-step procedure to resolve this a  Got RPMFORGE for my version of CentOS  See   www centos org modules newbb viewtopic php topic id 18506 amp forum 38 and this  wiki centos org AdditionalResources Repositories RPMForge  In my case  as root  or with sudo     wget http   packages sw be rpmforge-release rpmforge-release-0 5 2-2 el5 rf x86 64 rpm   rpm -K rpmforge-release-0 5 2-2 el5 rf   rpm   rpm -i rpmforge-release-0 5 2-2 el5 rf   rpm    Note  the RPM for rpmforge is small  like 12 3K  but don t let that fool    you  it augments yum the next time you use yum     this is the name that YUM found   still root or sudo    yum install zlib-devel x86 64    and finally in the source directory for git  still root or sudo       configure  this worked before  but I ran it again to be sure    make   make install    this install put it by default in  usr local bin git     not my favorite choice  but OK for the default     and git works fine

I ve tried few methods from this question and they all failed on my CentOs  either because of the wrong repos or missing files   Here is the method which works for me  when installing version 1 7 8        yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel cpio expat-devel gettext-devel     wget http   git-core googlecode com files git-1 7 8 tar gz     tar -xzvf   git-1 7 8 tar gz     cd   git-1 7 8       configure     make     make install    You may want to download a different version from here  http   code google com p git-core downloads list

Just installed git using the following instructions    Install EPEL V5   rpm -Uvh http   archives fedoraproject org pub archive epel 5 x86 64 epel-release-5-4 noarch rpm Install Git   yum install git git-daemon Check   git --version git version 1 8 2 3 Optionally install Git GUI     yum install git-gui   For i386 substitute x86 64 by i386 in the URL at step  1   rpm -Uvh http   archives fedoraproject org pub archive epel 5 i386 epel-release-5-4 noarch rpm

Just updating this for 2017 and later  as CentOS 5 has reached EOL and the URL for EPEL has changed   sudo rpm -Uvh http   archives fedoraproject org pub archive epel 5 x86 64 epel-release-5-4 noarch rpm sudo yum install git   This gets you git 1 8 2 3

It looks like the repos for CentOS 5 are disappearing  Most of the ones mentioned in this question are no longer online  don t seem to have Git  or have a really old version of Git  Below is the script I use to build OpenSSL  IDN2  PCRE  cURL and Git from sources  Both the git    and https    protocols will be available for cloning   Over time the names of the archives will need to be updates  For example  as of this writing  openssl-1 0 2k tar gz is the latest available in the 1 0 2 family   Dale Anderson s answer using RHEL repos looks good at the moment  but its a fairly old version  Red Hat provides Git version 1 8  while the script below builds 2 12 from sources        usr bin env bash    OpenSSL installs into lib64   while cURL installs into lib  INSTALL ROOT  usr local INSTALL

User · Answer

From source  From the repos  The easiest way is to use the repos  sudo yum install git should do it  It may first be necessary to set up an additional repo such as EPEL first if git is not provided by the main repos   If you want to install from source  you can try these instructions  If you have yum-utils installed it s actually easier than that  too     sudo yum build-dep git wget http   kernel org pub software scm git  lt latest-git-source gt  tar gz tar -xvjf  lt latest-git gt  tar gz cd  lt git gt  make  possibly a   configure before this  sudo make install     Substitute the portions enclosed in  lt  gt  with the paths you need  Exact procedure may vary slightly as I have not compiled git from source  personally  there may be a configure script  for example   If you have no idea what I m talking about  then you may want to just install from the repo as per my first suggestion

User · Answer

If you are using CentOS the built in yum repositories don t seem to have git included and as such  you will need to add an additional repository to the system  For my servers I found that the Webtatic repository seems to be reasonably up to date and the installation for git will then be as follows     Add the repository rpm -Uvh http   repo webtatic com yum centos 5 latest rpm    Install the latest version of git yum install --enablerepo webtatic git-all   To work around Missing Dependency  perl Git  errors   yum install --enablerepo webtatic --disableexcludes main  git-all

I m sure this question is about to die now that RHEL 5 is nearing end of life  but the answer seems to have gotten a lot simpler now    sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum install git   worked for me on a fresh install of CentOS 5 11
