18.2 Installing Samba on a Fedora 31 System
The default settings used during the Fedora 31 installation process do not typically install the necessary Samba packages. Unless you specifically requested that Samba be installed it is unlikely that you have Samba installed on your system. To check whether Samba is installed, open a terminal window and run the following rpm command:
# rpm -q samba samba-common samba-client
If any of the Samba packages are not installed, rpm will return with “package is not installed”. That being the case, these can be installed using the dnf command-line tool:
# dnf install samba samba-common samba-client
