I'm trying to install ccrypt on centOS, but I'm getting the following error:
yum install ccrypt
No package ccrypt available.
I tried to download the rpm and install it manually but it will require to install dependencies one by one (not very efficient).
I also tried installing the latest EPEL as mentioned here still same error
What shall I do?
I'm new to yum and CentOS, coming from Debian based flavors.
centos yum rpm

-- Scrap that on CentOS6, it's only available for v7.
ccrypt is available in EPEL (an extended package repository), so you have to activate it first. 
sudo yum install epel-release 
sudo yum update 
sudo yum install ccrypt 
nope that still did not work; I already installed epel previously but I did exactly what you posted and it did not work

ccrypt seems to be only available in EPEL for CentOS 7, not CentOS 6.

Answering my own question:
It seems that you cannot install ccrypt via packages. The only way to get it working was to:
- download precompiled tar.gz file from here
 chown user:user *all files to my current username- I was then able to run ccrypt
