Answer by Adiii for Issue installing scons in Dockerfile -- No match for argumet scons using yum

I am not sure if this something to do with the base image, but this docker image is base on centos7 and it seems working.

FROM centos:centos7.6.1810
RUN yum update -y
RUN yum -y install epel-release && \
    yum -y install scons
RUN  scons --version
