Hi Alex,

Unlike rpm, or debian-based distros, AGL does not have a package manager on runtime.
It is based on Yocto, thus what you have on your target is a built image.
You should take a look at AGL documentation

https://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/en/master/getting_started/

on how to build it with bitbake, and add packages
by adding your own layer or modifying an existing one.

Best regards
Thierry

Hi Alex,

In complement of Thierry, AGL have a package manager "dnf" but do not feed any rpm repository.

We've got a JIRA for this feature:

https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-920


If you want to use a package manager, on a AGL image, you must build your own image with yocto and feed a local rpm repository.


I find this tuto, to do that:
