How to add a yum repository mannually

Yum repository directory is located at /etc/yum.repos.d/, so if you have a yum .repo file, just copy this file into the directory.

And there are some repositories wrapped as rpm files, such as postgreSQL. What you need to do is to download the rpm files and install them.
