The following yum command displays all the repositories available on your system. As you see below, it has three CentOS-6 repositories (base, extras and updates). This doesn’t have EPEL enabled yet.

# yum repolist repo id repo name status base CentOS-6 - Base 6,294 extras CentOS-6 - Extras 4 updates CentOS-6 - Updates 830 repolist: 7,128 |
Everything that you need to install may not be available in the default OS repository. You will need to add/enable extra repositories.

Adding EPEL repository
EPEL stands for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux.
First, you need to enable EPEL repository on your system. You don’t need to configure this repository manually in your yum. Instead, download the following package and install it, which will enable the EPEL repository on your system.
