In my Centos 6.5 I want to install chrony

I get the following error

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process No package chrony available. Error: Nothing to do

How can I install Chrony on Centos 6.5 ?

Solution

It sounds like your missing the base.repo from your install.

            : computer's clock accurate. It was specially designed to support
            : systems with intermittent internet connections, but it also works well
            : in permanently connected environments. It can use also hardware reference

It sounds like you may be missing the 'CentOS-Base' repo from your config. Check in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo If it doesn't exist then create it and add the following config block;

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

#released updates 
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

You can also find the package via http://rpm.pbone.net
