Enable Repos Alma Linux Yum (yum-config-manager)
Oct 2023
Using our AlmaLinux installer means that many repositories are not enabled, this is a short guide on how to resolve this.
From the command line, use the following command:
yum repolist --all
You should see a list similar to the following, albeit with different repositories.
repo id repo name status alma-updates-8.7-2023.04.26 alma-updates-8.7-2023.04.26 enabled appstream AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream disabled appstream-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream debuginfo disabled appstream-source AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream Source disabled baseos AlmaLinux 8 - BaseOS disabled baseos-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - BaseOS debuginfo disabled baseos-source AlmaLinux 8 - BaseOS Source disabled extras AlmaLinux 8 - Extras disabled extras-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - Extras debuginfo disabled extras-source AlmaLinux 8 - Extras Source disabled ha AlmaLinux 8 - HighAvailability disabled ha-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - HighAvailability debuginfo disabled ha-source AlmaLinux 8 - HighAvailability Source disabled install-utils_repo install-utils_repo repo disabled k3s-pre-reqs_repo k3s-pre-reqs_repo repo disabled mkel_repo mkel_repo repo enabled nfv AlmaLinux 8 - Real Time for NFV disabled nfv-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - Real Time for NFV Debuginfo disabled nfv-source AmaLinux 8 - Real Time for NFV Sources disabled plus AlmaLinux 8 - Plus disabled plus-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - Plus debuginfo disabled plus-source AlmaLinux 8 - Plus Source disabled powertools AlmaLinux 8 - PowerTools disabled powertools-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - PowerTools debuginfo disabled powertools-source AlmaLinux 8 - PowerTools Source disabled reboot-daemon_repo reboot-daemon_repo repo disabled resilientstorage AlmaLinux 8 - ResilientStorage disabled resilientstorage-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - ResilientStorage debuginfo disabled resilientstorage-source AlmaLinux 8 - ResilientStorage Source disabled rt AlmaLinux 8 - Real Time disabled rt-debuginfo AlmaLinux 8 - Real Time Debuginfo disabled
if you get an error (command not found), due to the software not being available, you can install it by using:
yum install yum-utils
This should install as shown below:

Dependencies resolved. ======================================================================================================================================================================================================= Package Architecture Version Repository Size ======================================================================================================================================================================================================= Installing: yum-utils noarch 4.0.21-14.1.el8 alma-updates-8.7-2023.04.26 73 k Transaction Summary ======================================================================================================================================================================================================= Install 1 Package Total size: 73 k Installed size: 23 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded.

Now the repositories can be enabled using the package manger yum, first test that yum-config-manager is working:
yum-config-manager --version
You should get a valid response similar to the following:
4.7.0 Installed: dnf-0:4.7.0-11.el8.alma.noarch at Tue 08 Aug 2023 12:43:43 PM GMT Built : AlmaLinux Packaging Team <packager@almalinux.org> at Wed 12 Oct 2022 09:46:34 AM GMT Installed: rpm-0:4.14.3-24.el8_7.x86_64 at Tue 08 Aug 2023 12:42:46 PM GMT Built : AlmaLinux Packaging Team <packager@almalinux.org> at Wed 09 Nov 2022 03:50:55 PM GMT
Now repositories can be enabled, for our servers the following should be enabled:
yum-config-manager --enable appstream baseos extras
This will enable the following repositories:
repo id repo name status appstream AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream enabled baseos AlmaLinux 8 - BaseOS enabled extras AlmaLinux 8 - Extras enabled
Now you can install software and other repos as required.
