yum install mtools

Of course this may not be the correct name.

Try

yum list available mtoo*

yum list available *tool*

etc

yum -y mtools

Code:
yum -y install mtools
rpm -qi mtools
Omit the '-y' if you want keep control by confirming installation.
'rpm -qi' is only needed to test for the succeeded installation.
