These are the first steps we do with AL9 servers, should work on AL8, but not guaranteed, as I mentioned this is AL9.
dnf update ca-certificates
dnf install dnf-plugins-core
dnf install elrepo-release epel-release -y
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
That is the new Power Tools for EL9.
dnf --refresh update
dnf install nano wget ipset ebtables iptables ipset-service uuid uuid-devel libuuid-devel m4 pcre pcre-devel zlib-devel perl-DBD-MySQL perl-IPC-Cmd perl-Pod-Html perl-Sys-Hostname perl-libwww-perl.noarch perl-LWP-Protocol-https.noarch perl-GDGraph libtool s-nail htop sysstat python3-perf nmap net-tools make quota cockpit* -y
dnf install clamav* clamd
Then proceed to install CWP per their instructions.
