The Extra Repositories page does not contain enough info to successfully make use of EPEL (at least in Alma Linux 9). Running dnf install epel-release installs successfully, however some EPEL packages (awscli in my case) will still have dependencies that cannot be properly resolved.

The Fedora EPEL Page notes that there are additional repos that need to be enabled (crb for 9, powertools for 8) before installing epel-release. Once I made sure the crb repo was enabled, I was able to successfully install my packages.

It would be helpful to include these additional requirements on the Alma Extra Repositories page as well. I'm coming from CentOS 7 where requirements were simply a yum install epel-release, so I assumed this was still the case looking at the Alma Extra Repositories page.
