Install EPEL & enable PowerTools on AlmaLinux 8 / Rocky

AlmaLinux or Rocky’s official repository doesn’t offer all packages we need to install various common software. Hence, to get the packages and dependencies to set up various third-party applications there is a repository called EPEL-  Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux that offers additional packages to RedHat & its based Linux distributions. EPEL is administered by the Fedora Special Interest Group and they also ensure the high quality of the additional packages for Enterprise Linux. Whereas PowerTools is another repository that meant to supply mostly developer-related packages, tools, and libraries.
