I recently had to create an AWS EC2 AMI for Kaltura (see kaltura.org) using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL7), and when trying to install the Kaltura package I ran into missing dependencies. A bit of reading made me realize that not all repositories where accessible by default and some tweaking was necessary to get it to work. Here are a few cool things I used:

List and enable available repositories

Not all repositories are enabled by default, you can list them using the yum-utils package installed by default on the EC2 instances of RHEL7 using:

yum repolist all

You can then chose, for example, to enable the optional repository:

yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional

EPEL Repository

I installed the Fedora Project, the latest address being:

http://download-i2.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

So you can install this simply using:

rpm -Uvh http://download-i2.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
yum update
