For PHP you want:

yum install php-mcrypt

or (if you just want the library itself)

yum install libmcrypt

What if I don't have yum installed?

For PHP you want:

yum install php-mcrypt

or (if you just want the library itself)

yum install libmcrypt

Hi, I'm totally a novice in Linux. I'm have this VPS with Plesk 9 and SSH access. I've Googled up lots of articles to install the mcrypt, then I found that lots of them recommend Atomic, so I did the install for fedora 11. However, when I need to proceed with #yum update and received error "yum: command not found".
Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance

Some VPS providers like to "help you" by removing yum from the system. There is aroutine in the atomic installer to fix that kind of "help" if you're on centos, or rhel.
