Linux Tutorial: How to enable Nux Dextop repository on CentOS or RHEL

Q: I want to install an RPM package in the Nux Dextop repository. How can I set up a Nux Dextop repository on CentOS or RHEL?

Nux Dextop is a third-party RPM repository (such as Ardour and Shutter) for CentOS, RHEL, and ScientificLinux containing many popular desktop and multimedia packages ). Currently, Nux Dextop desktops are available for CentOS and RHEL 6/7.

To enable Nux Dextop on CentOS or RHEL, follow the steps below.

First, you need to know that Nux Dextop is designed to coexist with the EPEL repository. Therefore, you need to enable EPEL before using the Nux Dexyop repository.

After enabling EPEL, run the following command to install the Nux Dextop repository.

On CentOS/RHEL 6:

1. $ Sudo rpm-Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-2.el6.nux.noarch.rpm

On CentOS/RHEL 7:

1. $ Sudo rpm-Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-1.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

Verify that the Nux Dextop repository has been successfully installed:

1. $ Yum repolist

For Repoforge/RPMforge users

According to the author, it is known that Nux Dextop will conflict with other third-party libraries such as Repoforge and ATrpms. Therefore, if you have enabled third-party libraries other than EPEL, we strongly recommend that you set the Nux Dextop repository to "default off" (disabled by default. Open/etc/yum. repos. d/nux-dextop.repo in a text editor and change "enabled = 1" to "enabled = 0" under nux-desktop ".

1. $ Sudo vi/etc/yum. repos. d/nux-dextop.repo

Whenever you install an installation package from the Nux Dextop repository, use the following command to enable the repository explicitly.

1. $ Sudo yum -- enablerepo = nux-dextop install <package-name>
