What is the procedure to install Privoxy on a Centos machine?
I have tried yum install privoxy, however, I get No package privoxy available.
I am unsure if I am supposed to add any additional repos or use an alternative method.
I have done a Google search for an answer but was unable to find a solution.

These commands are more easier and manageable
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install privoxy -y
In future if you want to update
yum update privoxy -y

Enter these commands:
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.razorsedge.org/centos-4/RE-test/privoxy-3.0.12-1.el4.re.i386.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh privoxy-3.0.12-1.el4.re.i386.rpm
sudo service privoxy start

Shouldn't he be using packages for centos-6 rather than 4? – Journeyman Geek – 2012-07-23T15:17:03.173
if you research centos6 you'd discover, a lot of redhat Ent 4 packages are fully qualified since they are based on the same base install. Also note before providing this answer I ran it in Virtualbox on fresh install of centos6 without issue. – tao – 2012-07-24T17:35:49.677
Hi @tao thanks so much for the answer. I installed it with the exact instructions as you put them above, except for the sudo, since I am logged in as root, and I get sudo: command not found. Trying to run the service, I get: unrecognized service. Could you possibly help me solve this please. thanks in advance. – louis_coetzee – 2012-07-28T21:43:21.460
