Many EPEL packages require the CodeReady Builder (CRB) repository.
It is recommended that you run /usr/bin/crb enable to enable the CRB repository.

Hi 👋

The utilities tree, bzip2, dialog, and ncdu are commonly used in Unix-like operating systems for various tasks related to file and directory management, compression, and user interface creation in shell scripts. Feel free to open a PR if you are interested. Thanks!
