Install EPEL with PowerTools for CentOS 8

This tutorial provides a guide to install EPEL with PowerTools for CentOS 8 VPS or dedicated servers.

Installation of EPEL repository is done with the following steps:

Run the following command:

sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
