Yum repository is not always enough for you to use. You need to add some repositories such as epel and remi
-link epel centos 6 : http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
-link remi centos 6 : http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
-link epel centos 7 : http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-7.noarch.rpm
-link remi centos 7 : http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

You get access to the directory <yum.repos.d> (the directory storing installing repository packages
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

# nano epel.repo
the phrase <enabled=0> needs to be changed into <enabled=1>
Then you save it and quit
