Tooling

The rest of this site is written as manual steps. You read a command, decide whether you want what it does, and run it. Some projects package the same post-install work as a program instead: enable the third-party repositories, install the codecs, set up the NVIDIA driver, write the usual modprobe options, all in one run.

This section catalogues those tools, so you can decide whether to use one in place of working through the manual pages.

All of it is third party. None of these tools are produced, endorsed, or reviewed by the Fedora Project, and none of them are maintained by this site. Each page describes what the tool does at the version stated, where its work overlaps the pages here, and what you take on by running it. The site's usual position applies to the tool as much as to any command on any other page: understand what it costs before you run it.

Each page is based on the tool's source. Where the source and the documentation disagree, that is noted.

The tools

• Fedora Tricks — a Bash command-line tool that enables RPM Fusion, installs the multimedia stack, and sets up the NVIDIA driver. Distributed as an RPM from a COPR.
