You need to tell anaconda where to find the repo:
repo --name=EPEL --baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
You can then use EPEL packages in the %packages section. It's better
to point to a local or nearby mirror if you do this often. Add
another line for the updates repo to get those installed. My typical
kickstart file has lines like:
url --url=https://.../centos/7/os/x86_64/
repo --name=base --baseurl=https://.../centos/7/os/x86_64/
repo --name=updates --baseurl=https:/.../centos/7/updates/x86_64/
repo --name=EPEL --baseurl=https://.../fedora-epel/7/x86_64/
I have successfully installed MATE and XFCE this way.
