Install VLC in RHEL-based Systems

The VLC program is not included in RHEL-based operating systems such as CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux.

To install it, we need to use third-party repositories such as RPM Fusion and EPEL. These repositories allow us to automatically install a list of updated packages using the Yum package manager tool.

Install RPM Fusion and EPEL Repositories in RHEL Systems

First, install the EPEL and RPM Fusion repositories for your RHEL-based distribution using the following commands. Please select and install them according to your Linux-supported system version.

On RHEL/CentOS/Alma and Rocky 9

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-9-server-optional-rpms [on RHEL]
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-9.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS/Alma and Rocky 8

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-server-optional-rpms [on RHEL]
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS 7

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms [on RHEL] 
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS 6

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-optional-rpms [on RHEL] 
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-6.noarch.rpm

Installing RPMFusion Repository on Fedora

Under Fedora distributions, the RPMFusion repository comes as pre-installed, if not you can follow the below dnf commands to install and enable it as shown.

# dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
# dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install VLC in RHEL and Fedora Systems

Once you’ve all the repositories installed on your system, do the following command to check the availability of the VLC player.

# yum info vlc
OR
# dnf info vlc

FYI, vlc-3.0.8 is now available for RHEL 8 (CentOS 8 is scheduled for next week)

You may still need to enable epel-testing or even rpmfusion-free-updates-testing, but all dependencies will be made available in regular repositories soon.

I ran through the instructions (on this page) to get vlc-3.0.7.1 installed, and they failed at the very bottom, with the following errors:

For RHEL, you need to enable additional repositories as stated in the EPEL install wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F

subscription-manager repos –enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms –enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

If you do not have a valid subscription, please consider using CentOS instead.

This will allow to install the official qt5-qtx11extras package from Red Hat.
Reply
- kwizart, thanks for your reply.
  
  Does this really require a RHEL 7 Server subscription just to run a desktop application (VLC)? It seems silly to me that they did that.
  
  But is that correct?
  Reply
  - kwizart,
    thanks for that hint. We had to enable the CentOS repository on our RHEL machine.
    
    That worked, thanks!
    Reply
    - Using CentOS repositories on RHEL isn’t recommended and will lead to issue at some point.
      
      I’m not speaking for Red Hat, but you really need a subscription to access any repositories no matter what is your use-case.
      
      If it’s a problem for you, then you should migrate to CentOS fully.
      Reply
      - kwizart, thanks.
        
        We run off isolated networks for security purposes, and we have used maybe 3 or 4 CentOS packages on our RHEL7 baseline, and currently RHEL is the requirement from our customer.
        
        Thanks for the collaborative support.
Sorry. but these instructions did not work for me on my RHEL7 machine. In fact they married up perfectly to the instructions on videolan.org (the Provider’s website); and those instructions failed as well.

There were some dependencies for some libraries and symbols inside those libraries and they were nowhere to be found during my installation.

The file dependencies missing were:
```
libQt5X11Extras.so.5 ()
libQt5Svg.so.5 (Qt_5)
libQt5X11Extras.so.5 ()
libQt5Svg.so.5 (Qt_5)
```
So, I tried the instructions on tecadmin(dot)net and those actually DID WORK. The difference was in the repositories being used for RHEL7.

Your site suggest, just like videolan.org, to use the two Repos of:
- https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm, AND
- https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm <— this one "causes" the problem.
So, tecadmin(dot)net suggest using these two Repos (notice what is the same and what is different!!):
- https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
- http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm <– This was the difference.

- @Warron,
  
  Thanks for the tip, but it didn’t worked for me on my RHEL 7.6 version. I used EPEL and Nux Repos, still giving dependency errors..
  Reply
  - Ravi, I replied to your email directly.
    
    I just noticed that in your post you indicated the use of EPEL and NUX; like my notes indicate.
    
    Please tell me, what was the version of BOTH of those packages after they were installed? Also, do you have localpkg_gpgcheck=0.
    I believe I had to make that adjustment too in order to get the NUX package to install properly.
    
    I will retry my steps to ensure they are repeatable today; or to validate the steps are broken as of last night.
    Reply
  - Ravi, I reattempted the installation instructions and they did actually work for me.
    
    Try these steps:
    
    Go into /etc/yum.conf and set the following lines as indicated (they will exist, and just need to be altered):
    
    1. This sets the option so that the RPMs will remain on disk).
    
    keepcache=1
    
    2. This sets the option so that the nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch package is installable due to the GPG Key not being on disk until after installation of this package.
    
    localpkg_gpgcheck=0
    
    3. Now install EPEL and Nux repository with the following commands.
    
    # yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm # yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
    
    4. Finally, install the VLC product and all of its 45 extra dependencies.
    
    # yum install vlc

  Why not install from source? also CentOS and RHEL only used for server purpose, not for desktop, go for Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
  Reply
  - Because from source, yum (dnf) does not update it automatically… Linux Mint and Ubuntu are for Enthusiasts, Pros use RHEL/CentOS/etc. Install once and forget. Need to play, use a VM, docker, etc. Pros don’t have time to waste reinstalling or upgrading systems.
    
    EOL of RHEL/CentOS/etc. > EOL hardware. Any other Linux distribution EOL Linux < EOL hardware.

Please consider moving to use RPM Fusion for RHEL, CentOS, SL and Fedora.

There is a maintained version of vlc (2.2.8 for EL and 3.0.0 for Fedora).

Also please don’t mix packages for EL and Fedora, that’s completely scary

what is XZ compression not available. show this problem during installation vlc media player.pls resolve my problem .
how install vlc or any media player on centos.
Reply
- @Rajan,
  
  It seems you yum is broken due to non-CentOS version of xz installed, better remove that and reinstall the CentOS-version of xz package as shown:
```
# yum remove epel-release
# yum install epel-relase
```

kindly tell me the steps to install vlc in rhel7

- @Gokul,
  
  As per your request, we’ve just updated the article for vlc installation on RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 as well as for Fedora 23-20. Just go through it and install, if any problems during installation, please ask here..
  Reply
Not to be impatient, but I was wondering if my comment about vlc not being available at remi-test is true? or is it me doing something wrong?
needless to say, I tried your suggested method a while ago and it worked smoothly. It is just a recent hurdle…..thanks.

- @Harry,
  May i know on which distro you’re trying to setup vlc?
  Reply
  - Sure. It is RHEL 5.8_ 64 bit. I have setup Centos repo if needed. I tried this some time ago on Centos 5.8 and got the same problem.
    Reply
    - @Harry,
      CentOS 5.8 is too old and don’t think latest version of VLC will work on such old CentOS distro…why not upgrade to CentOS 6 or 7?
      Reply
      - Yes, it is old and annoying. but it is sometime necessary as some software suites are coded based on RHEL 5.
It seems like that Remi no longer provides VLC. I do “yum search vlc”and no results pop up.
I also checked the package list on the remi and remi-test lists, no vlc there.

Am I right?

Another way to
Install VLC in RPM base linux distros, Open the terminal and follow few steps as root

#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
#wget http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/linuxtech.repo
#yum install vlc

NOTE: may your system will update few library files, accept all or as required, but all those are required for vlc.

- Sorry for delay in replying, May I know on which version of Linux distribution you trying to install VLC?
  Reply
In your instructions for running VLC, you note that it is not supposed to be run as root, yet your bash command is for a root shell (admitedly there are many users who skim the article text and just read the commands)

It Should read as follows

“$ vlc”

But you have

“# vlc”

The ‘#’ is reserved for root shells.

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

  Remove libcaca-0.99-0 and then try the command.

- Go into terminal and type “yum –enablerepo=rpmforge install libupnp-1.6.6-1.el6.rf.x86_64” Once this completes, then run the “yum –enablerepo=remi-test install vlc” command and it should install. I just ran into the same issue, and that is how I was able to solve it.
  
  Hope this helps.

- @narayana – Thanks for pointing out..the links are corrected and working now..
  
  1. You can get actual location of install file using following command.
```
rpm -ql rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
```
  2. If you want to remove a package from the local install use the following option.
```
yum remove rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
```
