Mate is not in the repos. mate-desktop.org has no packages for rhel or CentOS.

It’s in epel repository.

Warning: Group MATE Desktop does not exist. No packages in any requested group available to install or update
Since the MATE Desktop group does exist in epel (I just checked and it hasn’t gone away), you have other issues that you should probably be solving.
I am running CentOS 6.4
Could that be the issue?
Here’s the whole output:

That’s the issue. MATE is available for CentOS 7. For an equivalent experience with CentOS 6, install the Gnome Desktop. In other words, you don’t need MATE with CentOS 6.
I’m using C 6.6
Try: yum update
I did. Says nothing marked for update. To wit:

jd1008 — Re: [CentOS] Installing all the mate desktop rpms –
what does…
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
say? If that says 6.4, and yum update doesn’t update to the latest CentOS 6.6, something *is* broken on your system. 6.4 is from 2013…
try:-
cat /etc/CentOS-release
Is it still C 6.4 ?
OK, so I am indeed at 6.6 :
# cat /etc/CentOS-release CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
But I would still like to get up to 7, but as I indicated in another post, I cannot use the 7’s iso because it crashes immediately during boot. Problem with bringing up X. As I also stated in another post, CentOS 6.4 had no problems with my old graphics card. So, why is CentOS 7 crapping out?

hello,
I haven’t followed the complete conversation, sorry.
The only reason I can think of is that your system is 32bit?
