I'm running some python code on EC2 that uses shape files and has a dependency on the geos_c library. It's raising a Could not find lib geos_c or load any of its variants error.

I've applied updates and followed the steps from https://libgeos.org/usage/install/#amazon-linux, namely:

# Apply updates
sudo yum update -y

# Install geos
sudo yum install -y amazon-linux-extras
sudo amazon-linux-extras enable epel
sudo yum search geos
sudo yum install geos geos-devel

Unfortunately this returns Warning: No matches found for: geos, so it looks like this package is not currently available in the EPEL version in Amazon Linux.

This is a vanilla instance of Amazon Linux using Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM) - Kernel 5.10 with 64-bit (Arm) architecture.

What's the best way to install the geos library?
