Verify
Once you've installed one lets verify that it is working. Run the following command to get an output of active repositories on your system.
yum repolist
Usage
Some packages might be available on more than the EPEL repo, use the following yum command when installing a package to install it from the EPEL repo. We'll use httpd (apache) as an example.
yum --enablerepo=epel install httpd
You're set!
