Download the RPM for installation.

 wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.650-1.noarch.rpm

Step 3:

 rpm -U webmin-1.650-1.noarch.rpm
Or
 yum install webmin

Webmin YUM repository
Add the below repository to your CentOS-Base.repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@eclinux]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
 [root@eclinux]# vim CentOS-Base.repo
