Fedora Cinnamon - 2.0 Install Software Packages

Familiarize Yourself with Bash Installation

Linux distros include a Package Manager for installing, updating, and removing software. Fedora uses dnf and Flatpak. To install a package, use sudo dnf install [pkg-name] or flatpack install [pkg-name].

App Store

Software packages can also be installed via the software app which may be a more simple or appealing method for some.

Install Common Packages

Lets say that I want to install chrome.

sudo dnf install chromium

Bundle dnf Installs

You can install multiple packages from dnf by placing a space between each one: sudo dnf install nodejs npm To remove, swap install with remove -> sudo dnf remove npm

Lets say that I want to install an office suite, obsidian notes, vscode, obs studio all in one go using Flatpak.

flatpak install onlyoffice obsidian vscodium com.obsproject.Studio

Hit enter and all packages will download at once. See Common Package List for Linux Installs for other software I commonly install.
