title: How do I manually install a program to CentOS 6, without using yum or rpm?
body: <p>I have created a CentOS server in a virtual machine and now I would like to know how to install programs from scratch, without using yum or rpm. Every search I've tried on how to go about finding each individual program and what commands I would use to install them has returned very useful information on why using yum would be so much better and how to install yum if I don't have it.</p>
  
  <p>So basically all I want to know are how to find the download links to individual programs,how to download them (since I'm using only text I'm unfamiliar with this whole process), and what commands I need to use to install them once I have them.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks guys!</p>
