Rhel/centos Configuring Epel sources

EPEL, extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, is designed for Rhel, is completely free to use and is maintained by the Fedora project, so if you are using Rhel Linux, you can use the EPEL yum source with great ease.

RPM-IVH http://mirror.suhu.com/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

64-bit System selection:
RPM-IVH http://mirror.suhu.com/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Import Key:
Rpm–import/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/rpm-gpg-key-epel-6

Installing the Yum source priority plug-in
The Yum priorities plugin can be used to force a protection source. It allows system administrators to prioritize certain sources (such as the official source of a Linux distribution) by setting different priorities for each source, ensuring system stability (and may not be able to update to the latest version of the software available on other sources).

Yum Install Yum-priorities

When you use the command Yum list, if an error
Error:cannot retrieve Metalink for Repository:epel. Verify its path and try again

Go check the Epel.repo file.

#baseurl =http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch Uncomment this line
Mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch= $basearch Note this line

Then use it and there's no problem.
