Method 2: manual installation

Select the appropriate type for the system architecture: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7 /. The x86_64 we use will go to this directory to find the corresponding package. The installation method is as follows:

# Rpm-vih http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
Or:

# Wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
# Rpm-vih epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
