Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install extra-cmake-modules on CentOS 8.

What is `extra-cmake-modules`

Additional modules for CMake build system needed by KDE Frameworks.

We can use yum or dnf to install extra-cmake-modules on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install extra-cmake-modules.

Install extra-cmake-modules on CentOS 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh
