Installing Free and Nonfree Repositories

Installation can be done either using a web browser, or via the command line.

Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser

Enabling access to the free repository is easy and basically only one step:

  1. click on one of the following files, depending on what the distributions you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking Enter a few times:

Verbose: Once you clicked on above link Firefox will ask you how to Open the file. Here you can simply use the default and open the file with the default application Package Installer. Then Firefox will call Package Kit, which asks Do you want to install this file ?. Click OK to begin install; The install should go through various testing, and installing stages, and then complete. That's all.

Once that succeeds, you can enable access to the nonfree repositories:

  1. click on one of the following files, depending on what the distributions you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking Enter a few times:

The individual steps after clicking on the link are the same as the ones for the free repository.

  • Fedora 8, 9 or 10:
