@ -29,13 +29,23 @@ In a Debian-based template, use `apt`:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install qubes-repo-contrib
The new repository definition will be in the usual location for your distro, and it will follow the naming pattern `qubes-contrib-*`, depending on your Qubes release and whether it is in dom0 or a TemplateVM.
For example, in a Fedora TemplateVM on Qubes 4.0, the new repository definition would be:
/etc/yum.repos.d/qubes-contrib-vm-r4.0.repo
## Installing packages
After you've installed the repositories, you can install contributed packages.
**Note:** The first time you install a contrib package in dom0, you must use the `--clean` flag.
For example, to install `qvm-screenshot-tool` in dom0:
sudo qubes-dom0-update --clean qvm-screenshot-tool
Please see the package's README for specific installation and setup instructions.
