r/Fedora on Reddit: what is the best way to install apps in fedora?
March 1, 2023 -

I'm new to Fedora and so far I knew a few ways of installing application:

  • Use the "dnf install $appname"

  • Download the RPM package then "dnf install $the-rpm-package"

  • Use the flatpak

  • Use the tarball, extract then run the .sh file

  • And using appimage (Yup, I know this is not technically called an "install")

I'm pretty sure the dnf upgrade won't affect the appimage, but does it helps upgrade the apps from flatpak, tarball and rpm? if there are options available in all of them what method should I choose to install an app

r/Fedora on Reddit: Installing Packages on Fedora
November 24, 2024 -

Hi everyone,

so I'm pretty new to Fedora and Linux in general and I have some questions in regard to how packages and package installation work.

Firstly, when using #dnf install packagename can you assume that whatever repository the package is being sourced from, is safe to install from and how do I check which repositories that are being searched for the package.

Secondly, is it ok to assume that packages from online sites like koji.fedoraproject.org or src.fedoraproject.org are safe. It seems to me like not just anyone can upload packages there, but I haven't found a definitive answer yet.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Usually, DNF is used to "fetch" and install packages from available public mirrors. Alternatively, one can set up local repositories that don't require an active internet connection. DNF is Fedora's default package manager, which replaced yum in Fedora 22. DNF is used along with RPM to do the bulk of software management in Fedora.
