Install mcrypt for php54 on centos 6.5

Question

I'm completely new to VPS and am trying to install php54 on a centos6.5 server.

I've updgraded the php version to 5.4 which appears to work. Currently using php5.4.31

However I now need to install mcrypt. I've tried:

yum install php-mcrypt

I have set up remi and epel repositories and this goes so far to install but comes up with a dependency error:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
No such command: snstall. Please use /usr/bin/yum --help
[root@XXXX~]# yum install php-mcrypt*

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I cant seem to install mcrypt for version 5.4.

Any help appreciated

Thank you

The remi repository, from which you installed PHP, is disabled. Enable it and try again.

Thank you. I didnt realise it had been disabled - I assumed once installed it would be enabled - still learning. mcrypt is now installed. Thanks – Ray Aug 17 '14 at 16:14

@Ray Remi ships the repo disabled by default, which is slightly annoying and leads to confusing issues like this. – Michael Hampton Aug 17 '14 at 16:32
The repository is not enabled by default because it overrides some base packages, and admin need to choose between remi, remi-php55, remi-php56, remi-php70 or remi-php71. See: https://rpms.remirepo.net/wizard/ – Remi Collet Oct 30 '16 at 10:27
