How To Install fedmod on Fedora 34

fedmod is Utilities for generating & maintaining modulemd files

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install fedmod on Fedora 34.

What is `fedmod`

fedmod provides tools for converting existing RPMs (most notably metapackages) into module definitions in Fedora’s modulemd format.

We can use yum or dnf to install fedmod on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install fedmod.

Install fedmod on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install fedmod using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install fedmod

Install fedmod on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install fedmod using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install fedmod

How To Uninstall fedmod on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the fedmod package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove fedmod
