Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is one of the more popular additional repositories in the CentOS/Red Hat space.
Because of this, it actually has a very easy method for installation, from the given repositories:
$ sudo yum install epel-release -y
Looking in our repo directory, you'll now see two new files:
$ ls -lha /etc/yum.repos.d/epel*-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 951 Oct 2 2017 /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.1K Oct 2 2017 /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo
And yum repolist will show it, too:
