Oracle Linux: How to Enable an AppStream Module Via DNF

in Linux

Applies To:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Linux 8 and above

Goal

DNF introduces the concepts of modules, streams, and profiles for managing different versions of software applications within a single OS release. Modular content is made available separate to core OS packages in Oracle Linux 8 and later.

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. Module streams can be enabled to provide system access to the RPM packages that are contained in that module stream.

This document details steps to list and enable a module via DNF.
