I will show you the step-by-step installation of the HandBrake open-source video transcoder on a Fedora 38.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 38.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• An active internet connection. You’ll need an internet connection to download the necessary packages and dependencies for HandBrake.
• 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.

Now that the RPM Fusion repository is enabled, we can proceed with the installation of HandBrake. Execute the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf install HandBrake-gui

This command will install the graphical user interface (GUI) package of HandBrake, which provides a user-friendly interface for video conversion.
