It comes as an RPM. Just download it,
cdinto the directory where it's stored, thenrpm-ostree install ./harmonioid-package-name.rpmThat's called layering. You would use the same command to search for and install other packages in the
dnfrepos:rpm-ostree search mpvthenrpm-ostree install package-1 package-2(whatever they're called)I'll try this when I get home. Thanks!
The way I described it above will require at least two restarts, unfortunately, so be prepared to wait (layering is safe but as slow as getting a new system update).
You might be able to chain the local file with the dependencies in the repos, like
rpm-ostree install dep1 dep2 /path/to/your/file.rpmto save a restart and only create the one new rollback state in the boot menu.Didn't work, here's what I have when I tried to install mpv-devel:
`error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected: Problem: conflicting requests
You might already have that stuff installed. The reason I say that is this:
Did you try installing the RPM by itself and see if it works?
ETA: layering can be a good option, but if the base system already has the files you're trying to install but a different version, you'll sometimes run into funky behavior. I think you have to include an
override --forceif you want to replace something already installed.And since you're just trying to install a music program, that seems a little invasive for what you're trying to do and might introduce bugs during future updates. I don't recommend you bother trying to replace system packages.
