Third party repositories

There are several third-party software repositories for Fedora. They have more liberal licensing policies and provide software packages that Fedora excludes for several reasons. These software repositories are not officially affiliated or endorsed by the Fedora Project. Use them at your own discretion. For complete list, see FedoraThirdPartyRepos The following repositories are commonly used by end users and do not conflict with each other:

• https://rpmfusion.org

Mixing third party software repositories

Mixing a lot of third-party repositories is not recommended since they might conflict with each other causing instability and hard to debug issues. If you are not a technical user, one way is to not enable the third-party repo by default and instead use the --enablerepo switch for dnf, or a similar method configurable in the graphical package manager.

Enabling the RPM Fusion repositories using command-line utilities

This procedure describes how to enable the RPM Fusion software repositories without using any graphical applications.

Procedure

1. To enable the Free repository, use:

   $ sudo dnf install \
     https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

2. Optionally, enable the Nonfree repository:

   $ sudo dnf install \
     https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
