Installing Architecture Specific Packages for Red Hat Fedora and EL

By Paulus, 13 July, 2009

When running the yum command to install packages, sometimes you will get a mixture of x86_64 and i386 packages. Depending on what you want to install you may need both architectures and sometimes you don't. If you only need a specific architecture then you can specify it by:

# yum install ImageMagick.x86_64
