There was a long thread just this morning on something similar 
to this on the epel-devel mailing list -- two well trusted 
'old hands' were guiding a relatively newer admin [not that 
Claessen, Paul is all that new -- he had been active for years 
and years, and was just trying to solve a complex deployment 
issue]:  Manuel Wolfshant and Stephen J Smoogen (/me waves to 
them ...) fwiw, I am sort of an old hand in this space as well


This is your RHEL install, and the actions taken by you as 
root will change that unit away from stock RHEL (adding EPEL)

I strongly urge you to read:
	https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

and to join the mailing list at:
	https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/SMZRTZGFDKVKA2FEZE5WOVDC553WJ3MF/

which is the thread I mentioned

Basically just run as root -- and per the link I pointed you 
to, also enabling the RHEL extras archive ... PLEASE read 
that fine wiki page:

	rpm -Uvh \
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

and as needed 'enabling' in yum that archive, and then doing 
the install as I showed in the earlier email in this thread

I am not being coy here, but rather cautious.  I DONT HAVE and 
probably will never buy a license for RHEL for open source 
politics reasons out of scope here, so I have not done the 
exact task you seek to do, lacking a copy of the binary RHEL
