I had seen something about EPEL in a few of the many SO posts I read, and I had done this: sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm The NOTE for RHN users section mentions that I need the optional and extras packages, but I have not figured out how to install them (I am not a sys admin) I found this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_subscription_management/1/html/rhsm/supplementary-repos but when I tried what I read there I get: This system has no repositories available through subscriptions. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
