How to install packages from the CloudLinux testing repositories – cPanel

Introduction

Sometimes, CloudLinux will release packages to their testing repositories before releasing them to the stable repositories. If you need a package that has not been released to stable, this is how you would install the package.

Procedure

It's not advisable to enable the repositories globally on a production server. If the packages are needed, package managers can enable the testing repo temporarily

CPANEL_WARN: In the examples below, $PACKAGENAME is the name of the package you are updating.

Using DNF

To update an existing package:

# dnf update $PACKAGENAME --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing

# dnf install $PACKAGENAME --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
