Enable Epel, Remi, Atrpms in RHEL/CentOS
It’s no secret that CentOS and other RedHat-like systems come with a standard set of repositories. Unfortunately, many required packages are missing.
A common practice is to connect additional software repositories, such as Epel, Remi, Atrpms.
Epel (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux):
CentOS 8 64-Bit:
rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-8-16.el8.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 7 64-Bit:
rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-14.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 6 32/64-Bit
rpm -ivh https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/6/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 5 32/64-Bit
wget https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
noarch means that the architecture has no role for them.
REMI
Contains the latest versions of php and mysql. Requires Epel.
CentOS 8 64-Bit:
rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

RHEL/CentOS 7 32/64-Bit:
glibc = 2.17 is needed by elrepo-release-7.0-4.el7.elrepo.noarch
fix:
yum install -y glibc
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 6 32/64-Bit:
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-6.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 6 32/64-Bit:
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-5.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm
In order to enable these repositories, you need to edit one of the following files accordingly:
- /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
- /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
- /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
- /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
The value of the ENABLED parameter determines whether it is enabled (1) or disabled (0).
In the case of RedHat, it is recommended to disable unused repositories.
