Question

How do i install stress on a CentOS 7 server?

I've read this and I have Package epel-release-7-7.noarch already installed and latest version. When I yum search stress I get:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centos.hostingxtreme.com
 * epel: mirror.cs.pitt.edu
 * extras: mirrors.umflint.edu
 * updates: mirrors.greenmountainaccess.net
======================================================== N/S matched: stress ========================================================
httpress.x86_64 : HTTP stress & benchmark utility

That is not what i am looking for and man pages confirms:

httpress - High performance HTTP server stress & benchmark utility.

How can I install the stress tool on a centos7 headless server?

Have you tried `yum install httpress`? – chicks Jul 21 '16 at 19:44 — chicks, Jul 21 '16 at 19:44

It's in the old EPEL 6 repo list here. Install with:

rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/stress-1.0.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm

You should not be installing RPMs built for CentOS 6 on CentOS 7. – Jul 21 '16 at 20:34
I would agree on the surface, but can you delineate a specific reason (outside of perhaps needed an outdated or deprecated dependency?) – Jeremy Hajek Apr 06 '17 at 16:07

yum install stress
