Prerequisites

Before we get started, ensure you have the following:

A Fedora Server latest installation.
Access to the terminal with sudo privileges.
A stable internet connection.

Step 1: Enable EPEL Repository

Metronome IM package isn't available in the default Fedora repositories. Therefore, you need to enable the EPEL repository to install it.

Execute the following command in the terminal to enable the EPEL repository:

sudo dnf install epel-release

Step 2: Add Metronome IM Repository

Add the Metronome IM repository to your Fedora Server by running the command:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://packages.ejabberd.im/metronome/metronome-4.x/fedora/metronome-4.x.repo

Step 3: Update Repositories

After adding the new repository, make sure to update your system repositories with the command:

sudo dnf update

Step 4: Install Metronome

Now, install Metronome on your Fedora Server latest with the command:

sudo dnf install metronome

During the installation process, the terminal will prompt you to confirm the installation. Type "y" and press enter to proceed.

Step 5: Start Metronome

Once the installation of Metronome is complete, you can start the service by running:

sudo systemctl start metronome

To ensure that Metronome starts automatically on system reboot, run:

sudo systemctl enable metronome

Step 6: Check the Status of the Service

To check the status of Metronome and ensure that it's running smoothly, run the command:

sudo systemctl status metronome

If the service is running without any issues, you'll see an output similar to the one below:
