Enabling the RPM Fusion repositories

This page discusses third-party software sources not officially affiliated with or endorsed by the Fedora Project. Use them at your own discretion. Fedora recommends the use of free and open source software and avoidance of software encumbered by patents.

Third party repositories

There are a number of third-party software repositories for Fedora. They have more liberal licensing policies and provide software packages that Fedora excludes for various reasons. These software repositories are not officially affiliated or endorsed by the Fedora Project. Use them at your own discretion. For complete list, see FedoraThirdPartyRepos The following repositories are commonly used by end users and do not conflict with each other:

https://rpmfusion.org
rpm.livna.org (Obsoleted! Replaced by RPM Fusion free tainted)

Mixing third party software repositories

Mixing a lot of third party repositories is not recommended since they might conflict with each other causing instability and hard to debug issues. If you are not a technical user, one way is to not enable the third-party repo by default and instead use the --enablerepo switch for dnf, or a similar method configurable in the graphical package manager.

Enabling the RPM Fusion repositories for ostree-based systems

This procedure describes how to enable the RPM Fusion software repositories for systems based on ostree (i.e. Silverblue, Kinoite, Fedora IoT).

This is a two-stage process where you have to install versioned RPM Fusion repos and then you are able to replace them with unversioned RPM Fusion repos.

For more information about this process and the problem it solves, please refer to the relevant thread on the Fedora Discourse site.

Prerequisites

You are using an ostree-based system such as Silverblue, Kinoite, or Fedora IoT.
You have internet access.

Procedure

To install the versioned Free and Nonfree RPM Fusion repos:

$ sudo rpm-ostree install \
  https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
  https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
$ reboot

To replace the versioned RPM Fusion repos that were previously installed with the unversioned repos:

$ sudo rpm-ostree update \
  --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release \
  --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release \
  --install rpmfusion-free-release \
  --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
$ reboot
