This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Avidemux video editor on a Fedora 39.
Prerequisites
Before diving into the installation process, let’s ensure that you have everything you need:
- A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 39.
- It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
- You will need access to the terminal to execute commands. Fedora 39 provides the Terminal application for this purpose. It can be found in your Applications menu.
- A network connection or internet access to download the Avidemux package.
- A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
Install Avidemux on Fedora 39
Step 1. Before installing Avidemux, it’s also recommended to update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages and security patches. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf clean all sudo dnf update
This command will update all the installed packages on your Fedora 39 system, providing a stable and secure foundation for installing Avidemux.
Step 2. Enable the RPM Fusion repositories.
Enable the RPM Fusion repositories by running the following commands in a terminal:

These commands will download and install the necessary repository files for both the free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories.
Step 3. Installing Avidemux on Fedora 39.
Once the repositories are enabled, Install Avidemux using the DNF package manager by running the following command:

Step 5. Troubleshooting Installation Issues.
- If you encounter any errors during the installation process, ensure that you have enabled the RPM Fusion repositories correctly and that your system is up to date.
- If Avidemux fails to launch, try running it from the terminal to see if any error messages are displayed. Common issues include missing dependencies or conflicts with existing packages.
