How to install YUM, Zend Optimizer, eAccelerator and APC

Recently a friend had difficulty installing Alternative PHP Cache (APC) and upload progress for his Drupal CMS on Debian VPS. Therefore I tought of sharing this post about how to setup and run your virtual private server with most useful PHP packages.

I would assume you have a Debian VPS, CentOs or Ubuntu and you would like to install APC, Zend Optimizer and eAccelerator for the best PHP performances or if they are required by some third party applications.
