## Rocky Linux 8.6 - Installing Rsnapshot

All commands shown here are from the command-line on your server or workstation unless otherwise noted.

### Installing The EPEL repository

We need the EPEL software repository from Fedora to install _rsnapshot_. To install the repository, just use this command:

```
sudo dnf install epel-release
```

The repository should now be active.

### Install the Rsnapshot Package

Next, install _rsnapshot_ itself:

```
sudo dnf install rsnapshot
```

If there are any missing dependencies, those will show up and you simply need to answer the prompt to continue. For example:

```
dnf install rsnapshot
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:16 ago on Mon Feb 22 00:12:45 2021.
