EPEL repository

 

1. As said before, we have to remove the old repo. Issue these commands in terminal
   
   #rm /etc/yum.repo.d/epel.repo
   #rm /etc/yum.repo.d/epel-testing.repo
    


2. Delete the gpg keys.
   
   #rm /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL


3. Clean yum
   
   #yum clean all


4. Now we have to add the EPEL 7.2 repo. (Epel stands for Extra packages for enterprise linux)
   
   #wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
   
   #yum install epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm


5. That's it you're done. You now have the epel repo up and working. Issue the following command to check if it is working properly
   
   #yum repolist
   
   If it shows epel, then you're good.
