How To Install Slack on Fedora 37

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Slack on Fedora 37. For those of you who didn’t know, Slack is a powerful tool for team communication and collaboration. It offers a range of features and tools that make it easier for teams to work together, share information and files, and stay up-to-date with project progress.

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 Slack messaging and collaboration tools on a Fedora 37.

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 37.
• 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 Slack.
