Tasks
Enabling EPEL Repo
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) EPEL repository should be available via yum on most recent RHEL-based distributions and can be installed by running:
# yum install epel-release
On older distributions (such as RHEL 5 or RHEL 6), you may need to install the epel-release RPM manually:
# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
# sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm
