If you don’t have yum and want to install through rpm, then you have to download the above three packages and install them through rpm command.
For this you need to download correct versions of above packages from dag weirs repository.

Repository link is as following:

Step2 : After installing above packages, you need to ensure that “fuse” module is loaded or not, run the below command
#lsmod | grep fuse

Step3 : If this is not showing any thing, we have to load this fuse module.
#modprobe fuse

Step4 : After loading fuse module, run following command to mount ntfs filesystem in linux system
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /media
Above command will mount ntfs partition in R/W mode.
