Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) can be installed easily as an additional package on a Linux Distribution. However, Red Hat or CentOS do not support these packages.

But you can follow the steps given below to install the EPEL repo on CentOS and RHEL 7:

Step 1: Log in to the server using SSH. We believe you are already logged in as a root or sudo user.

Step 2: Run the command given below:

# sudo yum install epel-release

Step 3: Here, EPEL version 11 will be installed. Press the Y button to complete the installation.
