How to Enable EPEL Repository on Rocky Linux 8

EPEL stands for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux and is the most important external package source for RHEL and CentOS users. EPEL is so important because Red Hat traditionally delivers/maintains far fewer packages than Debian or Ubuntu, for example. RHEL / CentOS users who also need additional software packages therefore usually set up the EPEL package source.
