== Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser ==

1. First enable access to the '''free''' repository. For users of gpk (gnome package kit) or kpackagekit in Fedora that is easy and basically only one step: just click on one of the following files, depending on what distribution you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking ''Enter'' a few times (¹):

 * [[https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-36.noarch.rpm|RPM Fusion free for Fedora 36]]
 * [[https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-37.noarch.rpm|RPM Fusion free for Fedora 37]]
 * [[https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-branched.noarch.rpm|RPM Fusion free for Fedora Branched and what will become Fedora 38]]
 * [[https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm|RPM Fusion free for Fedora Rawhide]]

2. Once that succeeds, you can enable access to the '''nonfree''' repositories by clicking on one of the following files, depending on what distribution you use and then follow the default options that Firefox and Package Kit offer by clicking ''Enter'' a few times(¹):

 * [[https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-36.noarch.rpm|RPM Fusion nonfree for Fedora 36]]

~-(¹) 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; Package Kit then will complain about a ''Missing security signature''; once you tell Package Kit to install the package nevertheless it will move on and install it. That's all.-~

== Command Line Setup using rpm ==

To enable access to both the '''free''' and the '''nonfree''' repository use the following command:

 * Fedora with dnf: {{{
sudo dnf 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
}}}

 * Silverblue with rpm-ostree: {{{
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
}}} # You will have to reboot for the rpmfusion repositories to appear)

 * RHEL or compatible like CentOS{{{
sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm
}}}

 * CentOS Steam 8 requires an additional step {{{
sudo dnf config-manager --enable powertools
}}}

 * CentOS 8 (older version) used a case sensitive name for the PowerTools repository {{{
sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools
}}}

 * RHEL 8 requires an additional step {{{
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(uname -m)-rpms"
}}}


== AppStream metadata ==

RPM Fusion repositories also provide [[https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/|Appstream metadata]] to enable users to install packages using Gnome Software/KDE Discover. Please note that these are a subset of all packages since the metadata are only generated for GUI packages.

For the current Fedora releases: the suggested method is to install appstream-data using DNF.

 * The following command will install the required packages: {{{
sudo dnf groupupdate core
}}}


== Important notes ==

 * You need to enable [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL|EPEL]] on RHEL or compatible distributions like CentOS ''before'' you enable RPM Fusion for EL. See the fedoraproject wiki for instruction [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse|how to enable EPEL]].

Installing Free and Nonfree Repositories

We have two separate software repositories:

  • free for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines) which the Fedora project cannot ship due to other reasons

  • nonfree for redistributable software that is not Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines); this includes software with publicly available source-code that has "no commercial use"-like restrictions

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

Please also check the dedicated Multimedia page for well known additional post-install steps.

See a more dedicated page for OSTree Systems (such as Silverblue, Kinoite and CoreOS)

Also worth to mention is the CommonBugs sections.

  • Silverblue with rpm-ostree:

    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
    # You will have to reboot for the rpmfusion repositories to appear)
  • RHEL or compatible like CentOS

    sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm
    sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).noarch.rpm
  • CentOS Steam 8 requires an additional step

    sudo dnf config-manager --enable powertools

    sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools
  • RHEL 8 requires an additional step

    sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(uname -m)-rpms"

AppStream metadata

RPM Fusion repositories also provide Appstream metadata to enable users to install packages using Gnome Software/KDE Discover. Please note that these are a subset of all packages since the metadata are only generated for GUI packages.

For the current Fedora releases: the suggested method is to install appstream-data using DNF.

  • The following command will install the required packages:

    sudo dnf groupupdate core

Important notes

  • You need to enable EPEL on RHEL or compatible distributions like CentOS before you enable RPM Fusion for EL. See the fedoraproject wiki for instruction how to enable EPEL.
