Preparing yum
First add our repo to the yum directory:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/openathens.repo
For help with the vi text editor: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vi+cheetsheet
Add the following
[openathens-sp] name = yum repository for athens rpms baseurl = https://username:password@repo.openathens.net/yum/pkgs/rhel$releasever/sp/2.2/$basearch enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 0 failovermethod = priority
Where username and password are the credentials for your OpenAthens administrator account. Our service desk will be able to help you if you are unsure.
Exit the editor saving changes

In a small number of cases, the rhel$releasever
variable in the base URL may not be picked up - e.g. if you have heavily modified your server. In such cases you will need to manually set it - e.g. rhel6
