installing sshpass on amazon linux AMI based ec2 instance

I am planning to automate aws-rackspace server migration. I am following the official rackspace documentation(https://github.com/cloudnull/InstanceSync/blob/master/rsrsyncLive.sh) which uses rsync to migrate. I have modified the code to use sshpass to dynamically provide login password while making an SSH connection to the remote server.

sshpass -p "YOUR_PASSWORD" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no username@IPAddress

But I am facing trouble installing sshpass package.

Debian based Distros - Installed Successfully
CentOS - Installed Successfully
Redhat - Package not found (yum list available | grep sshpass) 
Amazon Linux -  Package not found (yum list available | grep sshpass)

I even tried 'yum update' and then 'yum -y install sshpass' but it didn't work.

Thanks,

I found this answer on another stack overflow page, but it worked for me when yum install sshpass was returning

"No package sshpass available"

when trying to install on an AWS instance.

Command:

yum --enablerepo=epel -y install sshpass

On Amazon Linux 2 I do it like this

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel
sudo yum install sshpass

You need to manually download source code of sshpass,after that

Extract it and cd into the directory
./configure
sudo make install

Note :: If you do not find make then you can run following command for installing make

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
