    RahulBy RahulApril 22, 20142 Mins ReadUpdated:February 5, 2020

    The EPEL or “Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux” is an online yum repository providing high quality of commonly used software packages. These packages are developed and tested on Fedora, which is available for RHEL.

    The EPEL repository is available and used for the following Linux Distributions:

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
    • Fedora
    • CentOS
    • Scientific Linux
    • Oracle Linux

    Download and install the epel-release package as per your system version and architecture. Basically, they provide noarch packages, which means they are architecture-independent but still EPEL providing different packages to download. So you can download it as per your choice.

    Method 1 – Installing EPEL using Yum

    For the CentOS Linux distro, its available under default yum repositories. You can simply install it using yum package manager tool.

    yum install epel-release
    

    Method 2 – Installing EPEL using RPM

    For some of the Linux distributions epel-release package is not available under default repositories, can download the latest package from the official website on install the.

    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
    

    Using EPEL Repository

    Now check if your repository is working properly on your system. Execute the following command to list all packages available in epel repository

    yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel list all
    

    You will get a long list of packages
