DNF5 is a command-line package manager that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs in a consistent manner. It supports RPM packages, modulemd modules, and comps groups and environments.
As part of the DNF5 stack, libdnf is the package management library. It was originally written to support the DNF package manager, but gradually grew up into a versatile library. You can now use libdnf to build custom tools that load repositories, query packages, resolve dependencies, and install packages.
DNF5 is also powered with the libsolv library which provides an easy to use programming interface.
By using DNF5, you can work with the following artifacts:
DNF5 is written in C++ and it can interface with the following programming languages:
Note, however, that DNF5 cannot yet interface with the following programming languages:
Join us on IRC at #dnf on Libera.Chat. Questions should be asked there, issues discussed. Remember: #dnf is not a support channel, and prior research is expected from the questioner.
DNF5 is available since Fedora 38. To install the DNF5 package manager, use either of the following commands, depending on your Fedora release:
Fedora release Command 37sudo dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightly && sudo dnf install dnf51 38 or newer sudo dnf install dnf5
Note: dnf-nightly provides nightly builds for the entire DNF stack. Once you enable this repository you will start receiving updates for DNF, libdnf, and for the other packages of the stack.
Optionally you can install DNF5 from these COPR repositories23. The packages are build using the copr option --rpmbuilds-with dnf5_obsoletes_dnf. By installing these packages DNF5 will be the default package manager in your system. You will still be able to use DNF running dnf4.
Packages from dnf5-testing are versioned following Fedora release pace and are updated every two weeks. Packages from dnf5-testing-nightly are built nightly.

Translating DNF5 from English to other languages happens at Fedora Weblate translation web site.
A GitHub workflow extracts new English messages from this repository every day and commits them to dnf5-l10n repository. The translation web site then presents them to its users who translate them there and the web site saves the finished translations back to the dnf5-l10n repository. Finally, the translation catalogs from that repository are copied into this repository just before every DNF5 release.
