How to Add RPM Fusion Repository on CentOS 8.x/Stream-8

GNU/Linux CentOS 8.x/Stream-8 Adding RPM Fusion Repository

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

And to Enable RPM Fusion for CentOS 8 there are 2 procedures, but here I describe How to Enable it on the CentOS 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 CentOS 8 includes both: Free Open-Source Software and Non-Free Proprietary Software.

3. 3. Enabling RPM Fusion Repo

   Then Install RPM Fusion Free and Non-Free Repositories
   Currently the SSL Certificate is somewhere expired, so first you may need to Download the Repos, with:

   wget --no-check-certificate https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm

   And:

   wget --no-check-certificate https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8.noarch.rpm

   Next to Setup them run:

   sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck ./rpmfusion*.rpm

4. 4. Enabling PowerTools

   And Finally, Enable PowerTools
   Playing:

   sudo dnf config-manager --enable powertools

   Or else try:

   sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools

   Last, you may need to Reboot with:

   sudo reboot

So Now I’m truly Happy if My Guide could Help you to Install RPM Fusion Repository on CentOS 8!
