Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install audit on Fedora 34.
What is audit
The audit package contains the user space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 and later kernels.
We can use yum or dnf to install audit on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install audit.
Install audit 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 audit using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install audit
Install audit on Fedora 34 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
