How do I install the VideoLAN VLC Media Player?

VLC is packaged at the RPM Fusion Site. First we need to add this repository to NST.

Install The RPM Fusion Repository Into NST

dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install VLC From RPM Fusion Repository

Once the repository is added, we next add VLC. It is that simple! 

dnf install vlc
