How to Install VLC Media Player in RHEL-based Distributions

Ravi SaiveLast Updated: September 29, 2023 Read Time: 2 minsLinux Players 122 Comments

VLC (VideoLAN Client) is an open-source, free, simple, fast, and highly powerful cross-platform player and framework designed for playing a wide range of multimedia files, including CD, DVD, VCD, Audio CD, and various supported streaming media protocols

It was developed by the VideoLAN project and is available for all major operating platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, OS X, Android, iOS, and other supported operating systems.

Install VLC in RHEL-based Systems

The VLC program is not included in RHEL-based operating systems such as CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux.

To install it, we need to use third-party repositories such as RPM Fusion and EPEL. These repositories allow us to automatically install a list of updated packages using the Yum package manager tool.

Install RPM Fusion and EPEL Repositories in RHEL Systems

First, install the EPEL and RPM Fusion repositories for your RHEL-based distribution using the following commands. Please select and install them according to your Linux-supported system version.

On RHEL/CentOS/Alma and Rocky 9

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-9-server-optional-rpms  [on RHEL]
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-9.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS/Alma and Rocky 8

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-server-optional-rpms  [on RHEL]
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS 7

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms  [on RHEL] 
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm

On RHEL/CentOS 6

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-optional-rpms  [on RHEL] 
# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
# yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-6.noarch.rpm

Installing RPMFusion Repository on Fedora

Under Fedora distributions, the RPMFusion repository comes as pre-installed, if not you can follow the below dnf commands to install and enable it as shown.

# dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
# dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install VLC in RHEL and Fedora Systems

Once you’ve all the repositories installed on your system, do the following command to check the availability of the VLC player.

# yum info vlc
OR
# dnf info vlc

As you can see, a VLC player is available. Install it by running the following command in the terminal.

# yum install vlc
OR
# dnf install vlc

Execute the following command from the desktop terminal as a regular user to launch the VLC player. Please note that VLC is not intended to be run as a root user. If you have a specific need to run VLC as a root user, you can refer to our article that shows how to run VLC as a root in Linux.

$ vlc

If you would like to update the VLC player to the latest stable version, use the following command.

# yum update vlc
OR
# dnf update vlc

To sum it up, VLC Media Player stands as the top choice for media playback on Linux, thanks to its outstanding format compatibility, open-source foundation, and widespread cross-platform accessibility.

For RHEL installations you must enable the RHEL optional repo.
```
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
```

FYI, vlc-3.0.8 is now available for RHEL 8 (CentOS 8 is scheduled for next week)

You may still need to enable epel-testing or even rpmfusion-free-updates-testing, but all dependencies will be made available in regular repositories soon.

For RHEL, you need to enable additional repositories as stated in the EPEL install wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F

subscription-manager repos –enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms –enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

If you do not have a valid subscription, please consider using CentOS instead.

This will allow to install the official qt5-qtx11extras package from Red Hat.

  kwizart, thanks for your reply.
  
  Does this really require a RHEL 7 Server subscription just to run a desktop application (VLC)? It seems silly to me that they did that.
  
  But is that correct?

      Using CentOS repositories on RHEL isn’t recommended and will lead to issue at some point.
      
      I’m not speaking for Red Hat, but you really need a subscription to access any repositories no matter what is your use-case.
      
      If it’s a problem for you, then you should migrate to CentOS fully.

        We run off isolated networks for security purposes, and we have used maybe 3 or 4 CentOS packages on our RHEL7 baseline, and currently RHEL is the requirement from our customer.

Sorry. but these instructions did not work for me on my RHEL7 machine. In fact they married up perfectly to the instructions on videolan.org (the Provider’s website); and those instructions failed as well.

There were some dependencies for some libraries and symbols inside those libraries and they were nowhere to be found during my installation.

The file dependencies missing were:
```
libQt5X11Extras.so.5 ()
libQt5Svg.so.5 (Qt_5)
libQt5X11Extras.so.5 ()
libQt5Svg.so.5 (Qt_5)
```
So, I tried the instructions on tecadmin(dot)net and those actually DID WORK. The difference was in the repositories being used for RHEL7.

Your site suggest, just like videolan.org, to use the two Repos of:
- https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm, AND
- https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm <— this one "causes" the problem.
So, tecadmin(dot)net suggest using these two Repos (notice what is the same and what is different!!):
- https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
- http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm <– This was the difference.

    Ravi, I replied to your email directly.
    
    I just noticed that in your post you indicated the use of EPEL and NUX; like my notes indicate.
    
    Please tell me, what was the version of BOTH of those packages after they were installed? Also, do you have localpkg_gpgcheck=0.
    I believe I had to make that adjustment too in order to get the NUX package to install properly.
    
    I will retry my steps to ensure they are repeatable today; or to validate the steps are broken as of last night.

    Ravi, I reattempted the installation instructions and they did actually work for me.
    
    Try these steps:
    
    Go into /etc/yum.conf and set the following lines as indicated (they will exist, and just need to be altered):
    
    1. This sets the option so that the RPMs will remain on disk).
    
    keepcache=1
    
    2. This sets the option so that the nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch package is installable due to the GPG Key not being on disk until after installation of this package.
    
    localpkg_gpgcheck=0
    
    3. Now install EPEL and Nux repository with the following commands.
    
    # yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm # yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
    
    4. Finally, install the VLC product and all of its 45 extra dependencies.
    
    # yum install vlc

    Because from source, yum (dnf) does not update it automatically… Linux Mint and Ubuntu are for Enthusiasts, Pros use RHEL/CentOS/etc. Install once and forget. Need to play, use a VM, docker, etc. Pros don’t have time to waste reinstalling or upgrading systems.
    
    EOL of RHEL/CentOS/etc. > EOL hardware. Any other Linux distribution EOL Linux < EOL hardware.

Please consider moving to use RPM Fusion for RHEL, CentOS, SL and Fedora.

There is a maintained version of vlc (2.2.8 for EL and 3.0.0 for Fedora).

Also please don’t mix packages for EL and Fedora, that’s completely scary

  @Rabbani,
  
  It seems two repositories EPEL and Nux-Desktop conflicting packages, better try to disable EPEL repository and install the VLC from Nux-Desktop repository, I hope it will install without any errors..

Looks like the Centos 7 link for EPEl is broken,
Instead of
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-6.noarch.rpm
it should be
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-8.noarch.rpm

  @Rajan,
  
  It seems you yum is broken due to non-CentOS version of xz installed, better remove that and reinstall the CentOS-version of xz package as shown:
```
# yum remove epel-release
# yum install epel-relase
```

Not to be impatient, but I was wondering if my comment about vlc not being available at remi-test is true? or is it me doing something wrong?
needless to say, I tried your suggested method a while ago and it worked smoothly. It is just a recent hurdle…..thanks.

        Yes, it is old and annoying. but it is sometime necessary as some software suites are coded based on RHEL 5.

It seems like that Remi no longer provides VLC. I do “yum search vlc”and no results pop up.
I also checked the package list on the remi and remi-test lists, no vlc there.

Am I right?

Another way to
Install VLC in RPM base linux distros, Open the terminal and follow few steps as root

#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
#wget http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/linuxtech.repo
#yum install vlc

NOTE: may your system will update few library files, accept all or as required, but all those are required for vlc.

In your instructions for running VLC, you note that it is not supposed to be run as root, yet your bash command is for a root shell (admitedly there are many users who skim the article text and just read the commands)

It Should read as follows

“$ vlc”

But you have

“# vlc”

The ‘#’ is reserved for root shells.

Hello, thank you, VLC on CentOS 6.4 works! I used an installer to install RPMFusion repository.
I got it here http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

How to install vlc in an offline mode. I have fedora13 installed on a pc without internet connection and it has no medial player. When I tried to install using the rpm file it keeps saying dependencies missing (each time a diff. file). Where can I get all the dependent files along with the rpm for vlc and how to run it?

Thanks in advance

  No way, you can’t install VLC offline it relay on too many dependent packages.

Hi,

Thanks for the post, I got through the install all well but when I run vlc I get audio and no video. I tried reinstalling, I also tried installing the one from the rpm forge repo instead but no luck. I am running centos 6.3. Any suggestions?

  Go into terminal and type “yum –enablerepo=rpmforge install libupnp-1.6.6-1.el6.rf.x86_64” Once this completes, then run the “yum –enablerepo=remi-test install vlc” command and it should install. I just ran into the same issue, and that is how I was able to solve it.
  
  Hope this helps.

  @narayana – Thanks for pointing out..the links are corrected and working now..
  
  1. You can get actual location of install file using following command.
```
rpm -ql rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
```
  2. If you want to remove a package from the local install use the following option.
```
yum remove rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
```
