I’m sure the ‘subscription-manager’ command works on RHEL, but it does not on CentOS 8 (at least not for me). However, on CentOS 8, enabling the built-in ‘PowerTools’ repo does work.
yum config-manager –enable PowerTools
yum install elinks lynx
Thanks for mentioning this
yum config-manager –-enable PowerTools
