How do I install Stress on CentOS?
Installing on Ubuntu is trivial: sudo aptitude install stress
. But I haven't found any package for CentOS, and what seems to be the homepage that "everyone" refers to returns 404 Not Found: http://weather.ou.edu/~apw/projects/stress/
Stress is available for CentOS 6 from the EPEL repository. You can find out more about the repository, including instructions for adding it to your yum
configuration, at the project's homepage.
