How to install the packages from the EPEL software repository

What is EPEL

EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is open source and free community based repository project from Fedora team which provides 100% high quality add-on software packages for Linux distribution including RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), CentOS, and Scientific Linux. Epel project is not a part of RHEL/Cent OS but it is designed for major Linux distributions by providing lots of open source packages like networking, sys admin, programming, monitoring and so on. Most of the epel packages are maintained by Fedora repo.

Why we use EPEL repository?

1. Provides lots of open source packages to install via Yum.
2. Epel repo is 100% open source and free to use.
3. It does not provide any core duplicate packages and no compatibility issues.
4. All epel packages are maintained by Fedora repo.

How Do I Use EPEL Repo?

You need to use YUM command for searching and installing packages. For example we search forZabbix package using epel repo, lets see it is available or not under epel.

# yum --enablerepo=epel info zabbix

Sample Output

Available Packages
Name       : zabbix
Arch       : i386
Version    : 1.4.7
Release    : 1.el5
Size       : 1.7 M
Repo : epel
Summary    : Open-source monitoring solution for your IT infrastructure
URL        : http://www.zabbix.com/
License    : GPL
Description: ZABBIX is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network.

Let’s install Zabbix package using epel repo option –enablerepo=epel switch.

# yum --enablerepo=epel install zabbix

Note: The epel configuration file is located under /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo.

This way you can install as many as high standard open source packages using EPEL repo.

Running VMware vSphere Client on Windows 7

Many of you, like myself, have started running Windows 7 as their primary desktop OS and find it to be a massive improvement over Windows Vista on so many levels.
One of the very few inconveniences I have found with it, and this is not an bug or problem with Windows 7 itself, is the inability to run the VMware vSphere Client.
UPDATE: Good News – This issue has now been resolved in VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 Update 1 (U1).
When attempting to run the client the following errors are received and you are unable to proceed any further:
“Error parsing the server “







“The type initializer for ‘VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.HttpWebRequestProxy’ threw an exception.”







Luckily there have been a few good VMware forum posts such as this one by ftubio which outlines how to successfully run the vSphere Client under Windows 7.

If you are running the x64 version of Windows 7 you will notice that any reference to the ‘Program Files’ will have an ‘(x86)’ at the end of it. If you are running the x86 version of Windows 7 then ignore the ‘(x86)’ portion of the directory path (ie: C:\Program Files (x86) –> C:\Program Files).

Follow these 4 basic steps and you’ll be up and running in no time!

Step 1.

Download this DLL called system.dll

*Note: This DLL is usually found in the %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ directory of a non Windows 7 PC with .NET v3.5 SP1 installed.

Step 2.

Once downloaded install it in the “C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib” directory. If the ‘lib’ directory doesn’t exist then create it and drop the dll file into it.

Step 3.

Next edit the “VpxClient.exe.config” file which can be found in the “C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher” directory and add the following three lines to it right below . Then save the changes.

Step 4.

From the Windows 7 ‘System Properties’ click the ‘Advanced’ tab and then the ‘Environment Variables’ button as we want to add a new ‘System’ variable.



Create a new ‘System’ variable called ‘DEVPATH’ and assign the following variable value:

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib






You are now ready to start using the VMware vSphere Client on your Windows 7 machine! Some people have reported having to run the client as an ‘Administrator’ so if you are having difficulties it may pay to try this – I luckily didn’t experience this problem. Also you will likely have to reboot your machine (or restart the explorer.exe process) for your new path information to come into effect.
