While I'm able to install pidgin, I'm only after the CLI variant of finch for IRC. More generally, I don't recall the specifics of how to add a repo, nor would I know which repo. Primarily: **how do I find the repo which would have finch for CentOS?** [nsaunders@rolly ~]$ [nsaunders@rolly ~]$ sudo yum install -y finch Last metadata expiration check: 0:13:32 ago on Sun 07 Jun 2020 05:07:27 AM PDT.
