In our earlier tutorials, we covered the installation of the KDE Desktop environment <\/a>and installation of Cinnamon Desktop environment on Fedora<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Enable Deepin Copr repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deepin packages are available on Mosquito\/deepin<\/code> Copr repository. Add it to your Fedora 29\/28 system by running the commands below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo dnf copr enable mosquito\/deepin<\/mark>\nDo you really want to enable copr.fedorainfracloud.org\/mosquito\/deepin? [y\/N]: y<\/mark>\nRepository successfully enabled.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Add RPMFusion repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn’t want to ship. We will use this to install Deepin multi-media packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install http:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/free\/fedora\/releases\/$(rpm -E %fedora)\/Everything\/$(uname -i)\/os\/Packages\/r\/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora)-1.noarch.rpm <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Install Deepin Desktop Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Update and install deepin-desktop on Fedora<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg deepin-desktop<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Install other Deepin Meta Applications (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can optionally install other Deepin set of Applications which include calculator, voice recorder, image and document viewer, calendar, music and Video player e.t.c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install deepin-calendar deepin-calculator deepin-editor deepin-image-viewer deepin-picker deepin-screenshot deepin-system-monitor\nsudo dnf install deepin-movie deepin-music deepin-screen-recorder deepin-voice-recorder<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Enable Deepin display manager Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have gdm login management service, ensure it is disabled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl disable gdm.service <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And enable lightdm which is the default DDE’s  greeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To be able to use the integrated network administration, the NetworkManager service must be running and enabled to start on boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Starting Deeping Via xinit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To use Deepin via xinit, you’ll need to add the following to your .xinitrc<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
echo \"exec \/usr\/bin\/startdde\" >> ~\/.xinitrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Reboot your Fedora Workstation to enjoy your new Deepin Desktop Environment experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo reboot<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
