OL8: How To List All Modules via DNF in OL8 And Check If They Are Enabled or Disabled?

edited Aug 12, 2025 10:00AM in Linux

Applies to:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Oracle Linux 8 and Later

Goal
Oracle Linux 8 (OL8) distributes sets of related RPM packages that form a logical unit (such as different components of an application or a group of tools) as modules, with these modules being able to be enabled or disabled on the system. How can a user or administrator of an OL8 system determine what modules are installed or are enabled or disabled on their system?

Solution
Modules: a set of RPM packages that are grouped together and must be installed together. They can contain several streams (AppStreams) that consist of multiple versions of applications that you can install. You enable a module stream to provide system access to the RPM packages that are contained in that module stream.
