GNU/Linux Red Hat 8 Installing RPM Fusion Repository

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Add RPM Fusion Repository on Red Hat Enterprise GNU/Linux 8.x Desktop/Server.

And to Enable RPM Fusion for RHEL 8 there are 2 procedures, but here I describe How to Enable it on the Red Hat Command Line.

RPM Fusion is a third-party software repository for the Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) OSes. It provides additional Packages not included in the official Fedora and RHEL Repositories due to Licensing or other Issues.

RPM Fusion is divided into two main repositories:

  • Free repository: This repository contains free and open-source software (FOSS) packages that comply with Fedora’s licensing guidelines but are not shipped with Fedora for various reasons. This repository includes software like multimedia codecs, graphics drivers, and other useful applications.
  • Nonfree repository: This repository contains software that does not comply with Fedora’s licensing guidelines due to patent or licensing restrictions. It includes proprietary drivers, software, and other applications that are not open source but may be useful to users.

The RPM Fusion Project aims to provide a convenient way for users of Fedora and RHEL to access a wider range of Software Packages while maintaining compatibility and adherence to Fedora’s principles and guidelines.

Finally, the RPM Fusion Repository for Red Hat 8 includes both: Free Open-Source Software and Non-Free Proprietary Software.
