Below you find the installation command for the Epel repository which can be entered on the SME Server shell.
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL).
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more.
After adding it to the database updating the configuration file is required by issuing:
signal-event yum-modify
For example to view changes you can run:
db yum_repositories show epel
The output will be following your smeserver version:
