The install docs point at a page that easily has install instructions for the EPEL repo rpms, but only for EL6 and EL7. We should link to this page instead: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse This should instead read something like "Go install EPEL: <link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>"
As an admin/user I find it useful and convenient to be able to quickly copy-paste commands from the installation docs. Perhaps have different sections for the different RHEL versions pointing to EPEL for 6 and 7: RHEL6: # rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm RHEL7: # rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm Pointing at the upstream docs is easier but if you are trying to digest all the steps necessary to get Pulp running it can be easier if you can see all the necessary commands on one page.

This needs to be fixed again. The link for rhel7 epel repo does not work. What is in the doc is https://pulp-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#repositories $ sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm [root@cloud-qe-4 ~]# sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm Retrieving https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found error: skipping https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm - transfer failed [root@cloud-qe-4 ~]# sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm Retrieving https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ddo0PU: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 352c64e5: NOKEY Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:epel-release-7-5 ################################# [100%] [root@cloud-qe-4 ~]#

The link on EPEL7 was fixed https://github.com/pulp/pulp/blob/master/docs/user-guide/installation.rst For RHEL and CentOS systems, the EPEL repositories are required. Following commands will add the appropriate repositories for RHEL6 and RHEL7 respectively: RHEL6: $ sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm RHEL7: $ sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm Note The above EPEL URLs change with each release of the epel-release package. If you receive a 404 error when attempting to install the above RPM, point your browser at the directory it is in and look for the updated name of epel-release package.
