Installing the EPEL repository on the CentOS 8 virtual machine

To install the EPEL repository on CentOS 8, all you have to do is run the following command:

sudo dnf install epel-release

There's no priorities package as there is on CentOS 7 and earlier, so we won't have to worry about configuring the repository priorities.

When the package installation is complete, create a list of available software packages with the following commands:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf list > dnf_list.txt

Next, let's configure our network.
