🔗 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)
Welcome to the home of the EPEL Special Interest Group.
🔗 Quickstart
You may retrieve signed binary configuration files from one the above two links (varying by the major release number of the installation target machine). They may be automatically installed by root thus:
- RHEL/CentOS 6:
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
- RHEL/CentOS 7:
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
- on RHEL 7 it is recommended to also enable the optional and extras repositories since EPEL packages may depend on packages from these repositories:
# subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
🔗 What is Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL)?
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL).
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more.
