-For RHEL you need to enable the `CodeReady Linux Builder` repository, e.g. by running `subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms`.
+In Fedora these are available from the default repositories; whereas for CentOS and RHEL you need to enable the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) repository and either the PowerTools repository for CentOS or the CodeReady Linux Builder repository for RHEL:
+```sh
+yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
+# CentOS 8
+dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
+# RHEL 8
+ARCH=$( /bin/arch )
+subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms"
+```
+The documentation packages have slightly different names in CentOS and RHEL, you can also choose to pass the `--disable-doc` flag to your configure script to skip these dependencies.
