The inial setup depends on whether you are using RedHat or CentOS.

$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
This enables an addional repository on your system.
b. Enter the following command to install EPEL:
$ sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-
release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
For CentOS:
• Enter the following command in a terminal window:
$ sudo yum install epel-release
This installs and enables the repository for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).
