the dirty way aroung this is doing:

Announcement

I have released my new course on Udemy, Kubernetes By Example. Sign up now to get free lifetime access! 
$ yum install {package-name} --nogpgcheck

But best practice is:

first cd to:

$ cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg

Then do a wget command, here’s an example:

$ wget -O http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.8/RPM-GPG-KEY-foreman

then import it into rpm db like this:

$ rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-foreman

You can list all the imported keys like this:

$ rpm -qa gpg*

then to check it have worked, you can do:

$ rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-225c9b71-54fda121
