Temporary output repo path: demo/.repodata/ In case we don’t have createrepo package already installed, we can install it: $ sudo dnf install createrepoĬreaterepo_c x86_64 0.17.7-5.el8 rhel-8-appstream-rhui-rpms 89 kĬreaterepo_c-libs x86_64 0.17.7-5.el8 rhel-8-appstream-rhui-rpms 116 kĭrpm x86_64 0.4.1-3.el8 rhel-8-appstream-rhui-rpms 68 kĪfter installing createrepo, we need to pass our demo directory as an argument to the createrepo command: $ createrepo demo/ The createrepo command scans a directory containing rpm packages. We now need a tool called createrepo for creating a repository. Iproute-5.15.86_64.rpm 64le.rpmĪgain, these packages are for demonstration purposes only. Besides this, we can also see different dependencies from the RHEL default repository. Here we can see the installation wizard is using the EPEL repository for installing the hping 3 package. Let’s install the hping3 package from this repo: $ sudo dnf -enablerepo=epel install hping3

Now that we’ve set up our EPEL repository, it’s time to use it for installing a package. We can see the EPEL and its derivative repository are now on our repository list. Let’s refresh our repository list: $ dnf repolistĮpel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64Įpel-modular Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 The EPEL repository is now installed on our system. To be sure, we first update the available package on our system for installing the EPEL repository: $ sudo dnf updateįinally, we can run install the EPEL repository: $ sudo dnf install

To clarify, on RHEL 8, YUM is a symlink to DNF.
