installing firefox on ec2

[r...@haystack.mit.edu]

Hi,

  I followed the directions on these links:

https://lambda-linux.io/blog/2015/01/28/announcing-firefox-browser-support-for-amazon-linux/

https://lambda-linux.io/#getting-started

And when I tried the install, 

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=epll install firefox-compat

I got this error: (that I have no clue what to do next)

 One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),

 and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only

 safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

     1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

     2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working

        upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer

        distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the

        packages for the previous distribution release still work).

     3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then

        just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use

        --enablerepo for temporary usage:

            yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>

     4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.

        Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,

        so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much

        slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice

        compromise:

            yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/x86_64/latest/epll

    * needed 100 k

Also, I tried posting my question on stack overflow using the tag "lambda-linux", as indicated by the lambda linux website and found that

stack overflow says that "lambda-linux" is an invalid tag.

Hi,

I just followed up with you on the following thread on AWS EC2 Forum.

https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=609801

We can continue the conversation on that thread or #lambda-linux IRC
channel and I can help you resolve your issue.

With regards to Stack Overflow you wrote:

If you can provide me with more details regarding the specific error
message that you received, I will follow up in Meta Stack Overflow
forums and ensure that our tag is working correctly.

Thank you for using Lambda Linux Packages and being part of our open
source community.

Best,
