Familiarize Yourself with Bash Installation
Linux distros include a Package Manager for installing, updating, and removing software. AlmaLinux uses dnf and Flatpak. To install a package, use sudo dnf install [pkg-name] or flatpack install [pkg-name].
Install Common Packages
Bundle dnf Installs
You can install multiple packages from
dnfby placing a space between each one:sudo dnf install nodejs npmTo remove, swapinstallwithremove->sudo dnf remove npm
Lets say that I want to install chrome.
sudo dnf install chromium
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.
If you don't know the address of the application either type its name as you know it and it will detect it, or use
flatpak search [guessed name]and it will list the correlated address to type in.
