How to install software packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Learn how to install software with RHEL’s package manager using the dnf command or the GNOME Software app.
There’s a lot of flexibility in how you install an application on Linux. It’s partly up to the software’s developer to decide how to deliver it to you. In many cases, there’s more than one «right» way to install something.
Training & certification
However, when an application is mission-critical, it’s important that you get timely and reliable updates. The best way for that to happen is to install software from a central hub. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), that central hub for application installation and maintenance is the dnf (formerly known as yum ) package manager.
Using a package manager ensures that every file installed on your system is dutifully recorded in a database, and each package can be updated when a new release is available. RHEL provides two ways to interact with its package manager: the dnf command and the GNOME Software app.
Search software repositories
Applications available on Red Hat’s servers are divided into several software repositories. These include the BaseOS, AppStream, Red Hat Linux Builder (previously called CodeReady Linux Builder), and Supplementary repositories.
To see the repositories enabled on your system, use the dnf repolist command along with the —all option. It’s a long list, so pipe it through the more pager to scroll through it:
$ sudo dnf repolist --all | more amq-interconnect-textonly-1-for-middleware-rpms Red Hat A disabled amq-textonly-1-for-middleware-rpms Red Hat J disabled ansible-automation-platform-2.2-for-rhel-9-. Red Hat A disabled ansible-automation-platform-2.2-for-rhel-9-. Red Hat A disabled ansible-automation-platform-2.2-for-rhel-9-. Red Hat A disabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-debug-rpms Red Hat C disabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-eus-debug-rpms Red Hat C disabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-eus-rpms Red Hat C disabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-eus-source. Red Hat C disabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms Red Hat C enabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-source-rpms Red Hat C disabled [. ]
To enable a repository, use the dnf config-manager subcommand with the —enable option and the name of the repository as listed. For instance, to enable the rhel-9-for-x86_64-supplementary-rpms repository:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --enable rhel-9-for-x86_64-supplementary-rpms Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Find software to install
If you know what application you want to install, you can verify that it’s in the repository by searching for its name or even just part of its name:
$ sudo dnf search toolbox Updating Subscription Management repositories. ==== Name Exactly Matched: toolbox =========== toolbox.x86_64 : Tool for containerized command line environments on Linux
Install software from a remote repository
To install an application, use the install subcommand:
