===== Steps =====
<code bash>
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6   
wget http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
cp RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum repolist
</code>
If you get a "Connection refused" on running ''yum repolist'' the ca-bundles.crt may be old. Work-around is to change the epel.repo from using https to http:
<code bash>
sudo sed -i 's/https/http/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
yum repolist
</code>

===== Other commands =====
<code bash>
yum clean all
</code>
