How to enable Red Hat repositories with subscription-manager command

At first, you need to have paid or trial Redhat subscription available so that you can enable repos and install the software.

# subscription-manager register

There is also another option where you don’t need to have any subscription but you should mount your ISO image of RedHat and make it your local repository with the following command/

# mkdir /media/rhel-iso
# mount /dev/cdrom /media/rhel-iso/

Now you need to create a new dnf repo file at /etc/yum.repos.d/RHEL_Disc.repo with the following content:

[RHEL_Disc]
name=rhel-8.4-x86_64-dvd
baseurl="file:///media/rhel-iso/AppStream/"
gpgcheck=0

Now you can check for new repos to enable this repository:

# dnf repolist

Now, you can easily install any software from repos without going through any issues.
