When attempting to install Longview on Centos 9 I get the following errors:
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'longview':
- Status code: 404 for https://yum-longview.linode.com/centos/9/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 96.126.109.89)
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'longview': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
How can this be fixed?

To get this working I had to make some changes to the installation process. First I prepared my system to manually install Longview, then made some changes to the system's security features, and then installed Longview.
The first step is to prepare your system for a manual installation of Longview. I used the guide linked below, however, I made one adjustment. On line 3 of the file longview.repo, I used "8" instead of "9", even though my system is Centos 9.
If you begin Longview installation now you will continue to get some errors. What I had to do was change the crypto policy on my system to allow the install. Once the installation was complete I reverted my system back to its default crypto policy. The post below is the reference I used.
