How to configure rpmforge and epel yum repos in RHEL or CentOS 7

How to configure 3rd Party Yum Repo's ?

1. Configuring RPM Forge Repo:

# wget http://repository.it4i.cz/mirrors/repoforge/redhat/el7/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm

# yum clean all
# yum repolist
 

2. Configuring EPEL Repo

EPEL was started because many Fedora contributors wanted to use the Fedora packages they maintain on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its compatible derivatives.

# rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

# yum repolist
[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist
