In the following table, the -y switch to the yum application means to
answer yes to all prompts, and using it will install the application and
all dependencies without prompting you. If this is not what you want,
omit the -y switch.
If you just want to install all of the above packages in one go, you can
specify more than one package on the command line, e.g.:
# yum install -y gcc ncurses-devel libtermcap-devel [...]
