CentOS 8 Trouble Installing PowerTools Packages

Post by pstieber » 2019/11/04 17:43:15

I have a fresh CentOS 8 install and I believe I have the PowerTools repo setup properly, but when I attempt to install one of the packages, yum/dnf says it cannot be found:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install antlr-C++
CentOS-8 - AppStream                                                                     969 kB/s | 6.3 MB     00:06

RPM Fusion for EL 8 - Nonfree - Updates                                                   14 kB/s |  56 kB     00:04
No match for argument: antlr-C++
Error: Unable to find a match
It looks like this should be available:

https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-powertools-x86_64/

Any ideas?

It's a module and part of javapackages-tools so dnf module enable javapackages-tools and then you can dnf install it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
