NAME

6       dnf5-forcearch - Forcearch Parameter
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  --forcearch=<arch> parameter overrides the system architecture de‐
10       tected by DNF 5. It allows querying repositories for packages not  com‐
11       patible with your host system and installing them. Any architecture can
12       be specified, but using a package with an  architecture  not  supported
13       natively  by  your  CPU will require emulation of some kind, e.g. using
14       qemu-user-static.
15
16       --forcearch is supported by the following commands: distro-sync,  down‐
17       load,  group,  info, install, list, makecache, repo, repoquery, search,
18       and swap.

EXAMPLES

21       dnf5 install --forcearch=aarch64 my-example-package
22              Installs the version of my-example-package for the  AArch64  ar‐
23              chitecture, regardless of the architecture of the host system.
24
25       dnf5 download --forcearch=s390x hello
26              Downloads the hello package for the s390x architecture.
27
28       dnf5 repoquery --forcearch=aarch64 --arch=aarch64
29              Query  all  packages  available for the AArch64 architecture. If
30              your system has  a  different  native  architecture,  then  both
31              --arch  and  --forcearch  are necessary here. --arch will filter
32              for only packages with the aarch64 architecture, and --forcearch
33              sets  the "arch" and "basearch" substitution variables to ensure
34              the correct repositories are queried.
