I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 (Maipo) and when I try to run.
yum install epel-release No package epel-release available.
Error: Nothing to do
I need to install this for DKMS

Run:
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm You have to do this because epel-release package is directly available in CentOS base repository, but not in RHEL repository.
According to documentation, it is also recommended to enable some optional repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" --enable "rhel-ha-for-rhel-*-server-rpms" 
Run the command below as http: (not https:):
yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm to avoid the error:
Cannot open: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

According to https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/README, the RPM file was moved to https://archives.fedoraproject.org.
This command should work:
yum install https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-14.noarch.rpm
