Installing 7zip on CentOS 7.0

CentOS does not come with 7zip installed, and it is not even readily available on the installation media or default repository. Looks like the next step is to tell yum about another repository and install 7zip from there. Here we go:

# wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

# yum install p7zip

That's it (other than typing "y" when asked if you really want to install 7zip), and now you should have access to the binary, 7za.
