Can't install epel

[g47o80742]

Hi all.

I'm new to linux. Trying to learn by following Pluralsight CentOS course.

The course has us intall CentOS on VMs (which are created using Oracle's VirualBox). I've installed CentOS and I'm able to successfully execute 'sudo yum update'. However, I can't get epel-release to execute. Selected commands and outputs are:

$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ No package epel-release available
$
$ yum repolist
repo id repo name status
extras/7/i386 CentOS7-Extras 217
$

If I'm reading this right, 'extras' is enabled. But epel-release still does not work.

I tried the manual approach mentioned here https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/enable-epel-repository/, but it breaks yum (which I have to fix by following these http://continualintegration.com/miscell ... -not-exist instructions).

I have internet connectivity (can ping sites on the internet)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

EPEL is only available for x86_64, you seem to be running the 32-bit version.
