EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)

EPEL, or Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, is a software repository that provides additional, high-quality packages for popular Enterprise Linux distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS. It offers a wide range of free and open-source software that is not included in the standard distribution, helping users enhance their systems with tools and applications. Managed by the Fedora Project, EPEL ensures that these extra packages are well-maintained and compatible, making it easier for users to customize their Linux environments while benefiting from community support and updates.
