Mate is not in the repos. mate-desktop.org has no packages for rhel or centos.
How can I install it.

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?

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

$ 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...

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?

There are a couple other options from this page you should try, when installing CentOS7:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...
inst.xdriver=fbdev
or
inst.usefbx
This will use the Framebuffer driver instead of whatever driver the installer is trying to load that then crashes.
You could also use VNC, although apparently that's abhorrent.

Thanx! Will try the boot options to see which one will work.

I tried the the two boot options. They work (i.e. it does not crash. However, it does not let me do manual partitioning. That absolutely sucks and blows at the same time. Who thought this crap out. Also, it does not provide for the option to upgrade. In fact the banner does not even say Install or Upgrade. It just says install and the only partitioning scheme it allows is the automatic one.
Not for me!!

Good to hear!

The Installer in CentOS7 is confusing, particularly the partitioning section, but it *does* let you do manual partitioning. If you see this display:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...
(From: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm... )
You need to pick 'I will configure partitioning'.
Also, it does not provide for the option to upgrade. In fact the banner does not even say Install or Upgrade.
No one ever said it would allow you to upgrade the system in-place. Aside from the 'preupg' method (which can leave you with a broken system), the method you use to upgrade a system from CentOS6 to CentOS7 is to back up your data, install CentOS7, and restore your data.
The jump from CentOS6 to CentOS7 is big enough that a lot of software can't safely be upgraded via yum. It's not a minor update.

I did indeed see the option that says I will configure partitioning. But when I return back to the screen (where it has all the icons that let you select the initial things, like date, time ...etc, it says about destination: automatically....
