Enable EPEL
Spotify for Linux operating system apart from Ubuntu or Debian is available via Snapcraft repository. And to install the app from this repo we first need to have snapd on our system. That’s why we have to enable EPEL, if you have not already then can follow the below command-
sudo dnf install epel-release
Run system update
To rebuild the system’s repository cache and update the installed packages run the system update command-
sudo dnf update
Install Snapd
Now, run the below command to not only install Snapd but also enable and start its daemon on your Rocky or other similar RHEL based Linux systems.
sudo yum install snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket sudo systemctl start snapd.socket sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Download and install Spotify on Rocky Linux or CentOS 8
Once the Snap has been installed, we can install Spotify on our Linux using just a single command that is-
sudo snap install spotify
