Fedora comes with many modern packages but may lack some everyday tools used for downloading, monitoring, and managing the system. These are safe to install on a fresh VPS.
Disclaimer:
The tools listed in this guide are optional and intended for general server use. Enviroweb provides unmanaged VPS hosting and does not support or manage installed software. You are responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining any software on your server.
Step 1: Log in to your VPS
Login using SSH or the console in your control panel.
Step 2: Install useful command-line utilities
sudo dnf install curl wget unzip htop git -y
Tool breakdown:
- curl / wget: Fetch files and interact with APIs
- unzip: Extract .zip archives
- htop: Monitor system resources interactively
- git: Clone repositories, version control, and code deployment
These tools are commonly needed across nearly all use cases.
