dnf

Install RPM-family Linux packages using DNF.

DNF-installed tools are externally managed. The system package manager owns package files and binary placement. Use .bin() only to tell dotfiles which executable names should be resolved from PATH after installation.

Basic Usage

import { defineTool } from "@alexgorbatchev/dotfiles";

export default defineTool((install) =>
  install("dnf", {
    package: "ripgrep",
  })
    .bin("rg")
    .sudo(),
);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
package	DNF package spec (defaults to tool name)
version	Exact version/release suffix, installed as package-version
refresh	Run dnf makecache before install (defaults to false)
env	Environment variables (static or dynamic function)

Examples

Exact Version

install("dnf", {
  package: "ripgrep",
  version: "13.0.0-1.fc40",
}).bin("rg");

Refresh Metadata First

install("dnf", {
  package: "ripgrep",
  refresh: true,
}).bin("rg");
