nut is Network UPS Tools
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install nut on CentOS 8.
What is nut
These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment of UPSes that are found out there in the field. Many models have serial ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking. This capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns, live status tracking on web pages, and more.
We can use yum or dnf to install nut on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install nut.
Install nut on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
