Alma Linux/RHEL 8 or 9

If you are running a CERN OS Image and installed CERNBox via locmap (as described in here), you can enable the qa repo

sed -i 's/enabled=0/enabled=1/g' /etc/yum-puppet.repos.d/cernbox-ops9al-qa.repo
dnf update cernbox-client

Otherwise, just install manually from the repositories

cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/cernbox-stable.repo
[cernbox-stable]
name=cernbox [stable]
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/internal/repos/cernbox\${releasever}al-qa/x86_64/os
enabled=1
gpgcheck=False
EOF

dnf install cernbox-client
