This will download all the RPMs needed to install YUM
=================

Now run these commands to install those RPMs

rpm -Uvh elfutils-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh elfutils-libs-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh expat-1.95.8-8.2.1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh gmp-4.1.4-10.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.7.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.7.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh m2crypto-0.16-6.el5.3.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm

This will install all those downloaded RPMs
Most of the RPMs would be installed by default, but it is a must to have the Latest Versions for installing YUM.

Now update the YUM by running this command

yum update yum

OR

yum -y update

===========================

You can only install via download link instead

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....3.el5.i386.rpm

Centos + yum on 64bits

rpm ?import http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....G-KEY-CentOS-5
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/...1.2.7.i386.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/...2.7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....6-5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....el5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....2.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....5.2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....0-2.noarch.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....6-2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ihv http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5....s.1.noarch.rpm

Then finally you can execute yum update command to update the rpms.
