"Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again"
Which if I'm not mistaken, I don't even need epel. I'm not sure, it's been awhile.

Epel is a repository that provides the downloads. This sounds like your repository links are invalid or outdated, try updating them or adding an alternative repository. Depends on the distribution youre using, best use ****** to find a compatible repository.
Alternatively you could download and install the packages manually (usually as rpm or deb packet), but thats much more work, especially when there are missing dependencies.
