CAUTION: Some EPEL packages depend on packages from repositories that are not enabled by default.
|
||||
Take note of the additional repositories being enabled in the instructions on this page.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: For convenience,
|
||||
some distributions include copies of EPEL release packages in their default repositories,
|
||||
allowing you to install them by name without the full URL.
|
||||
The EPEL project recommends using the URLs to the official packages to ensure the best experience.
|
||||
|
||||
== EL9
|
||||
|
||||
EPEL 9 officially targets RHEL 9 and CentOS Stream 9.
|
||||
If you are using RHEL 9, install `epel-release`.
|
||||
If you are using CentOS Stream 9, install *both* `epel-release` and `epel-next-release`.

||||

=== Other RHEL 9 compatible distributions
|
||||
|

EPEL 9 packages will also likely work with distributions that target RHEL 9 compatibility.
|
||||
We cannot list specific instructions for all such distributions,
|
||||
but in general the steps will look similar to the steps for RHEL 9.
|
||||
First enable the distribution's equivalent of the CRB repository,

then install the https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm[epel-release-latest-9] package.
|
||||
|
||||
== EL8
|
||||
|
||||
We offer the following release packages for the EL8 family.
|
||||
If you are using RHEL or a RHEL derivative, install `epel-release`.
|
||||
If you are using CentOS Stream, install *both* `epel-release` and `epel-next-release`.

== How can I use these extra packages?
|
||||
|
||||
EPEL has an 'epel-release' package that includes GPG keys for package
|
||||
signing and repository information. Installing this package for your
|
||||
Enterprise Linux version should allow you to use normal tools such as
|
||||
`yum` to install packages and their dependencies. By default the stable
|
||||
EPEL repo is enabled, there is also a link:epel-testing['epel-testing'
|
||||
repository] that contains packages that are not yet deemed stable.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE for RHN users: You need to also enable the *'optional*' repository
|
||||
to use EPEL packages as they depend on packages in that repository. This
|
||||
can be done by enabling the RHEL optional
|
||||
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11313[subchannel] for RHN-Classic.
|
||||
For certificate-based subscriptions see
|
||||
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1/html/RHSM/entitlements-and-yum.html#supplementary-repos[Red
|
||||
Hat Subscription Management Guide].
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE for RHEL 7 users with certificate subscriptions: EPEL 7 packages
|
||||
assume that the *'optional*' repository (rhel-7-server-optional-rpms for
|
||||
servers) and the *'extras*' repository (rhel-7-server-extras-rpms for
|
||||
servers) are enabled. You can do this with:
|
||||
|
||||
`subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms`
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE for RHEL 8 users with certificate subscriptions: EPEL packages
|
||||
assume that the *'codeready-builder*' repository is enabled. You can do
|
||||
this with:
|
||||
|
||||
`subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"`
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE for CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream 8 users: EPEL packages assume that the *'powertools*'
|
||||
repository is enabled. You can do this with:
|
||||
|
||||
`dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools`
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE for CentOS users: You can install EPEL by running *yum install
|
||||
epel-release*. The package is included in the CentOS Extras repository,
|
||||
enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
You can verify these packages and their keys from the Fedora project's

keys page: https://fedoraproject.org/keys
