Here I document minimal steps to setup a CentOS 7 machine, it suppose to be a live post, so I’ll keep updating it every time I found a step worth mentioning!

Test sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo yum install epel-release.noarch sudo yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{SOURCES,SPECS} wget http://example.com/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz mv lame-3.99.5.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES rpmdev-newspec lame mv lame.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS cat < < EOF > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/lame.spec # ------------------------------------------------------------ Name: lame Version: 3.99.5 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: LAME MP3 Encoder License: N/A Source0: lame-3.99.5.tar.gz %description Educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. LAME aims to be the basis of a patent free audio compression codec.

CentOS default repository is very limited, and even if you install EPEL you will get old packages, in my case I needed to install Supervisor to manage my Django application, after trying to do it manually and through EPEL I ended up with the following setup.
