Repositories in Linux serve as the central locations from which software packages are distributed and maintained. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives like CentOS, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux, the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository is a crucial resource. It provides a set of additional packages that are not supplied by the base RHEL repositories, often maintained by the Fedora Project community. Enabling the EPEL repository can greatly extend the range of available software, allowing users access to tools and applications that might not be provided by default. In this guide, we'll walk through the process of enabling the EPEL repository on RHEL-based systems.
