To install Mosquitto to use mqtt service in centos we have to follow below steps
#sudo yum -y install epel-release
#sudo yum -y install mosquitto

We also need to enable the service to make sure it starts up when we reboot the system
#sudo systemctl enable mosquitto
#mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t test -m "hello world"
