How do I install byobu in ec2 ami

Question

I know it was possible usint a package manager since i did it once a time ago. But now if I try sudo yum install byobu it just fails ... Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security, update-motd Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * amzn-main: packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com * amzn-updates: packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com amzn-main amzn-updates Setting up Install Process No package byobu available. Error: Nothing to do

Accepted Answer

Not sure why, but the EPEL repo is installed, but disabled by default. You can enable it permanently by changing the setting `"enabled=1"` in the `[epel] stanza` of `/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo`

Or you can leave it disabled and still install byobu:

```
sudo yum install --enablerepo=epel byobu
```

You can have a look at what packages are available in the epel repo with:

```
sudo yum list --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=epel
```
