Install Git on Database App Development VM

Jared COct 22 2024

Hi, I've been working on a Virtual Machine as described here. I'm running into issues installing Git specifically. I can't recall everything I've tried, but I've gone through many iterations of sudo dnf install git -y. Here are some specific commands I've tried in addition to the command to install Git:

  • sudo dnf clean all
  • sudo dnf makecache
  • sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled <various_repositories>

However, I am not really familiar with the dnf repositories and it's been a shot in the dark. Also, as described in the first post that I linked above, some repositories simply won't update for me, reaching a timeout error.

Point being, I keep getting this error:

No match for argument: git
Error: Unable to find a match: git

I've referenced this document and this document but neither of them address troubleshooting the installation.

I thought since the application I'm trying to install is different from my other post, I'd make a separate post. But what is described there seems like the root problem - until I can connect to some of these repositories, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to install Git.
