A quick comment before I give you your answer. When I see questions
with no capitalization and abbreviations like you've typed above, I
think it's like you are saying, 'My time is valuable, yours is not.'
How much extra effort to type 'Can someone', making your question easy
to read?
Two things:
I think you want to use the command
yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab'
or
yum groupinstall electronic-lab
and
there is something wrong with the repository you are pointing to. Try
using a different repository.
I just point to the main Fedora repositories in
my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file and it worked fine. I was able
to run this command successfully (it wanted to install 154 MB of
packages).
This is the meta mirror my fedora.repo file points to:
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
