'How to install xclip on Centos 8?
I recently started using Centos 8 on my Workstation and there is no xsel or xclip
Is there something wrong or is it on purpose, that xclip is not available?
Here is the output of dnf repolist, maybe I'm missing some must-have repo?
repo id repo name status
AppStream CentOS-8 - AppStream 5.089
Atom Atom Editor 142
BaseOS CentOS-8 - Base 2.843
amdgpu-pro-local AMD amdgpu Pro local repository 70

You can compile from yourself:

git clone https://github.com/astrand/xclip.git
./bootstrap
./configure

make install
Verify that is installed:
man xclip

In Centos 8 while running pyperclip.copy("Hello"), I found centos 8 don't have xclip and so the package gives me error. I have search all packages but repository of Centos8 don't have any similar packages.
I resolve this in following steps.
Install libXmu and X11 development library
sudo yum install libXmu-devel libX11-devel
Obtain the sourcecode
git clone https://github.com/astrand/xclip.git
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then test install man xclip
Now I can use pyperclip in python to use clipboard.

First Enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repo on CentOS 8 to install extra packages such xclip.
Step 1: Install epel repo
# yum install epel-release.noarch
or
# dnf install epel-release
Step 2: Install xclip from the EPEL repo
# dnf install xclip
