The EPEL project offers RPM packages not available in the official repos.

Check for the latest version and architecture first (this noarch package works for 32/64 bit):

rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.constant.com/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Disable the repository unless specifically enabled:

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

enabled=0
