DNF5-INSTALL(8) dnf5 DNF5-INSTALL(8)

NAME

dnf5-install - Install Command

SYNOPSIS

dnf5 install [options] <package-spec>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...

DESCRIPTION

The install command in DNF5 is used for installing packages, groups or environments.

When installing packages defined in package-spec arguments, DNF5 ensures that the packages and their dependencies are installed on the system. If the specified packages are already installed, DNF5 does not check their dependencies again and simply verifies that the packages themselves are present.

When installing groups defined in group-spec arguments, DNF5 ensures that the groups and their packages are installed on the system. Installs only group packages matching configured package type. See dnf5-conf(5), group_package_types <#group-package-types-options-label>.

When installing environments defined in environment-spec arguments, DNF5 ensures that the environments and their groups are installed on the system.

OPTIONS

Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.

Resolve any dependency problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction.

Allow skipping packages that are not available in repositories. All available packages will be installed.

Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.

Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.


Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up in the specified repositories.
Repository enabling and disabling still applies. Dependencies of these packages will be resolved from any enabled repository.

Store the transaction to be performed offline. See dnf5-offline(8), Offline command <#offline-command-ref-label>.
