In this recipe, we will investigate the desire to take full advantage of the packages that are available to CentOS by installing both the EPEL and Remi repositories. CentOS is an enterprise-based operating system that prides itself on stability, and during the lifetime of your server, it is possible that not every piece of software you need can be found in the default repositories. It is also possible that you may require updated packages of current software, and for these reasons many server administrators choose to install both the EPEL and Remi repositories. These are not the only repositories available, but because they represent one of the most popular combinations, it is the purpose of this recipe to show you how both the EPEL and Remi repositories can be added to your system.
