Almost everyone skips things like this..

Yeah, wget and epel-release are NOT part of a true clean CentOS install. Many people just make instructions with assumptions built in.

When testing instructions I plan to publish, I always build things on my own infrastructure beginning with a new install of CentOS 7 minimal to ensure nothing is missed.

@JaredBusch I am very much a noob with linux and don't really know what comes with it preinstalled or not as far as the minimal installs. So i just threw that info out for other noobs like me.

Yeah, I meant that people making instructions forget that.

I did not in this case. I knew that epel was required but not included and put it in the instructions. Wget I tested to ensure it was there by default, but it appears that Digital Ocean is modifying that too!! That's really frustrating. Can't wait till our new lab cluster is up so that we can do these tests faster and easier there with true vanilla installs and not have to trust third parties have not been modifying them.

Well, we had a discussion here (not even going to try and find the thread) about a year or so ago when I was setting something up and I mentioned this then. Mostly related to how DO was not a clean Minimal install.
