Install byobu to CentOS 7
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install byobu -y --enablerepo=epel-testing

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?

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.

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.
