  • Cannot enable PowerTools for RHEL 8

    Posted on

    Hi community, I'm trying to enable PowerTools on my RHEL 8 workstation. So I typed

    dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
    , but got this error message:

    [root@rhel ~]# dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.
    Error: No matching repo to modify: PowerTools.
    

    I've searched on Google about RHEL 8/CentOS 8, all posts I found are mentioning this method. But unfortunately this did not work in my case. Can I have your help please?
