Just use the exact command from your question. yum can take multiple package names as input:



yum install mysql php vsftp

    It helps if you summarize the link, so the user doesn't have to click through and they're not screwed if the link breaks

    It just says "Yum accepts multiple arguments, so just specify all of them on the command line" in various ways. I don't think that having a link to some random forum posts that say that actually is useful.
