Follow through this tutorial to learn how to enable PowerTools repository on Rocky Linux<\/a> 8. There are several repositories provided by Rocky Linux and other 3rd party developers that offer software packages that are not included in the default base and updates repositories<\/em>. PowerTools repository  provides most of the developer tools that are not provided by the default Rocky Linux repos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling PowerTools Repository on Rocky Linux 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PowerTools repositories are disabled by default on Rocky Linux 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To list currently enabled repositories, run the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

dnf repolist<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\nrepo id                                                        repo name\nappstream                                                      Rocky Linux 8 - AppStream\nbaseos                                                         Rocky Linux 8 - BaseOS\nepel                                                           Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64\nepel-modular                                                   Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64\nextras                                                         Rocky Linux 8 - Extras\nmariadb                                                        MariaDB\nremi-modular                                                   Remi's Modular repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64\nremi-safe                                                      Safe Remi's RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To list disabled repositories;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf repolist disabled<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The command output might be a bit long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To check for specific repository, for example the PowerTools repository;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf repolist disabled | grep -i power<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
powertools                     Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools\npowertools-source              Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools - Source<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can also verify the same by check the value of the enabled<\/code><\/strong> parameter on the PowerTools repository file, \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/Rocky-PowerTools.repo<\/strong><\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
grep enabled \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/Rocky-PowerTools.repo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
enabled=0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the value is set to 0, then the repository is disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two ways in which you can enable PowerTools repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Enable PowerTools repository using the package manager (yum or dnf)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Manually enable PowerTools repository by setting the value of the enabled=<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a01<\/code><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Enable PowerTools repository using the package manager (yum or dnf)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    To enable PowerTools repository on Rocky Linux using the package manager (yum or dnf), run the commands below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf install dnf-plugins-core<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    The enable PowerTools using the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Verify that the repository has been enabled;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf repolist enabled | grep -i power<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    powertools       Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    grep enabled \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/Rocky-PowerTools.repo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    enabled=1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Manually enable PowerTools repository by setting the value of the enabled=<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a01<\/code><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    To manually enable PowerTools repository on Rocky Linux by setting the value of the enabled= to 1, run the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sed -i 's\/enabled=0\/enabled=1\/' \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/Rocky-PowerTools.repo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    To verify;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf repolist enabled | grep -i power<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    powertools       Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Install EPEL Repositories on Rocky Linux 8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    You need to enable EPEL since while installing a package being provided by the PowerTools repos, there might be some dependencies required and provided by the EPEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    dnf install epel-release<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    And that is how easy it is to enable PowerTools repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
