I am trying to enable epel repo on RHEL 7 server hosted in Amazon cloud as told here.

yum install epel-release

I am getting error :frowning:

Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
No package epel-release available.
Error: Nothing to do

How can I enable EPEL repo in RHEL 7? Is this AWS problem?

Never mind I find answer on my own. All you have to do is run yum command:

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

I refreshed it:

yum update
yum repolist all
yum repoinfo epel

I got info:

Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
repolist: 0
[root@rhel7-nixcraft ~]# yum repoinfo epel
