I think for Centos 8 this is the new epel package:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-8-8.el8.noarch.rpm

works for me!

Is it possible to install the latest Byobu version (5.133 I believe) on CentOS7? I find the version in EPEL (5.73) seriously lacking in comparison to the latest! If not by RPM, maybe by compiling it locally on my el7 install? Doable?

imweijh commented Mar 29, 2021

centos 6 or 7 can use miniconda install byobu 5.133:
conda install -c conda-forge byobu

Why not this:

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install byobu

works for me.

tueda commented Feb 17, 2022

If yum -y install byobu doesn't find Byobu in EPEL, maybe EPEL is disabled. Try yum -y --enablerepo=epel install byobu (this was needed to me).

dnf install epel-release
dnf -y --enablerepo=epel install byobu
yum -y --enablerepo=epel install byobu
yum install byobu
dnf install byobu

None of the above work in CentOS 9 stream. But epel-release already installed
Package epel-release-9-4.el9.noarch is already installed.
