Unbale to install OpenCL in CentOS 7

I’m trying to install OpenCL in a CentOS 7.9 system following instructions here, but yum is unable to find the opencl-headers package as shown in my command-line output below. I tried enabling all repos as instructed here, but no luck. Can anyone help? It seems I need to point yum to the correct registry where it can find the OpenCL files. If that’s correct, how do I do that? Thanks.

$ yum install opencl-headers

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl

    You only need to install the GPU drivers. Then your device should be detected by clinfo.

    To develop code with OpenCL, you need the OpenCL header files. Find these here.

    opencl-headers package for CentOS 7 is a part of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. And this repository is not added by default, you need to add it manually. For example, using following command:

    yum install epel-release

    after that you will be able to install OpenCL headers using yum command

    yum install opencl-headers
