Enable EPEL Repository on CentOS or RHEL box
EPEL stands for "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux" and is a yum repository.
It provides hight quality additional software to accompany your RedHat distribution, such as:
- RedHat Enterprise Linux
- CentOS
- Fedora
Two methods are available to RedHat users for installing EPEL
YUM method
Use yum, the built-in command:
# yum install epel-release
RPM method
Mostly applicable to CentOS systems, we need to issue a command according to our distro.
CentOS 8
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
CentOS 7
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
CentOS 6
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
Enable the EPEL repository
In order to activate and start using the newly installed EPEL repository issue the command below
# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel list all
The above command will show a (pretty long) list of the available software, that looks something like this:
