How to install/get packages from Oracle EPEL Repository on OEL 7

By admin

Question: How to install/get packages from Oracle EPEL Repository on OL7?

1. Create a repo file like /etc/yum/repos.d/epel-yum-ol7.repo. For example:

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-yum-ol7.repo
[ol7_epel]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever EPEL ($basearch)
baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/developer_EPEL/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

2. And then run “yum repolist” command to see if repository is in there.

# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: langpacks
repo id repo name status
ol7_UEKR3/x86_64 Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 for Oracle Linux 7Server (x86_64) 669
ol7_epel/x86_64 Oracle Linux 7Server EPEL (x86_64) 991
ol7_latest/x86_64 Oracle Linux 7Server Latest (x86_64) 23,095
repolist: 24,755

3. Then you can install the packages you need such as nrpe, nagios, nagios-plugins with yum commands. For example:

# yum install nrpe
yum install nrpe
Loaded plugins: langpacks
