To enable the EPEL repository on your system, install the appropriate release package as described below. These packages contain the repository configuration and public package signing key.

EL10

dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm

EL9

EPEL 9 has two different release packages. If you are using RHEL 9, only install the epel-release package. If you are using CentOS Stream 9, install both the epel-release and epel-next-release packages.

CentOS Stream 9

dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel{,-next}-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

RHEL 9

subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-$(arch)-rpms
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

Other RHEL 9 compatible distributions

EPEL 9 officially targets CentOS Stream 9 and RHEL 9. EPEL 9 packages will also likely work with other distributions that target RHEL 9 compatibility. We cannot list specific instructions for all such distributions, but in general, the steps needed should look similar to the steps for RHEL 9. First enable the distribution’s equivalent of the CRB repository, then install the epel-release package.
