Issue #509
closedInstall Docs contain a link to EPEL that does not cover how to install EPEL7
Description
The install docs point at a page that easily has install instructions for the EPEL repo rpms, but only for EL6 and EL7. We should link to this page instead:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse
This should instead read something like "Go install EPEL: <link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>"

As an admin/user I find it useful and convenient to be able to quickly copy-paste commands from the installation docs. Perhaps have different sections for the different RHEL versions pointing to EPEL for 6 and 7:
RHEL6:
RHEL7:
Pointing at the upstream docs is easier but if you are trying to digest all the steps necessary to get Pulp running it can be easier if you can see all the necessary commands on one page.

This needs to be fixed again.

The link on EPEL7 was fixed
https://github.com/pulp/pulp/blob/master/docs/user-guide/installation.rst
For RHEL and CentOS systems, the EPEL repositories are required. Following commands will add the appropriate repositories for RHEL6 and RHEL7 respectively:
RHEL6:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
RHEL7:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
Note
The above EPEL URLs change with each release of the epel-release package. If you receive a 404 error when attempting to install the above RPM, point your browser at the directory it is in and look for the updated name of epel-release package.
