How to install dnf on Oracle Linux 7?

edited May 13, 2022 2:25AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓

I installed Oracle Linux 7.9 using the Minimal Install base environment.

When trying to execute # dnf config-manager, it says -bash: dnf: command not found

[root@DB ~]# dnf config-manager --enable ol8_baseos_latest
-bash: dnf: command not found

When trying to install DNF by executing #  yum install DNF, it says No package DNF available.

[root@DB ~]# yum install DNF
Loaded plugins: ulninfo
No package DNF available.
Error: Nothing to do

I just cannot find any documents about this issue with Oracle Linux. There are documents about Redhat or CentOS, but not Oracle Linux.

Could anyone advise how I can install and use dnf on my Oracle Linux with Minimal Install? Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
