 Install Command

Synopsis
========

``dnf5 install [options] <package-spec-NPFB>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...``


Description
===========

The ``install`` command in ``DNF5`` is used for installing packages, groups or environments.

When installing packages defined in ``package-spec-NPFB`` arguments, ``DNF5`` ensures that the packages
and their dependencies are installed on the system.
If the specified packages are already installed, DNF5 does not check their dependencies again and
simply verifies that the packages themselves are present.

When ``package-spec-NPFB`` to specify the exact version of the package is given, DNF will install the
desired version, no matter which version of the package is already installed. The former version of
the package will be removed in the case of non-installonly package.

On the other hand if ``package-spec-NPFB`` specifies only a name and obsoletes are enabled, DNF also
takes into account packages obsoleting that name.
Note that this can lead to seemingly unexpected results if the version of an installed package is obsoleted
and the installed package also has newer version available. It creates a split in upgrade-path and both ways
are considered correct, the resulting package is picked simply by lexicographical order.

When installing groups defined in ``group-spec`` arguments, ``DNF5`` ensures that the groups and
their packages are installed on the system. Installs only group packages matching configured package
type. See :manpage:`dnf5-conf(5)`, :ref:`group_package_types <group_package_types_options-label>`.

When installing environments defined in ``environment-spec`` arguments, ``DNF5`` ensures that the
environments and their groups are installed on the system.
