Snapshots & Safer Repos

v2.0.4 is the current stable release, installable via COPR. It adds Snapper BTRFS snapshot support (AlmaLinux 10 + BTRFS root only) and OpenColorIO to the catalog, plus safer repo management: Remove buttons for EPEL/CRB/RPM Fusion and a heads-up before installing a DNF app if EPEL/CRB aren't enabled yet. Blender is gated to EL9 until an EPEL 10 packaging bug is resolved upstream.

Everything taken care of,
no IT team required

Independent Setup

No more terminal commands. No manual dependency hunting. Get your studio up and running entirely through a clean, visual interface.

Multi-Source Smart Installs

Automatically handles DNF, Flatpak, RPM, and vendor installers. We've done the work to find the best way to install each specific creative app.

Ready in minutes

Two ways to install. COPR is the recommended one: two commands that work on both AlmaLinux 9 and 10, and it updates automatically with the rest of your system via sudo dnf upgrade. Only use Manual RPM if you can't enable COPR; it's a one-time download with no automatic updates.

bash — AlmaLinux 9 & 10
# 1. Enable the COPR repository (auto-detects AlmaLinux 9 or 10)
$ sudo dnf copr enable tristantheroux/AlmaLinux-Creative-Installer

# 2. Install the application
$ sudo dnf install almalinux-creative-installer
bash — Manual RPM install
# 1. Download the RPM from GitHub Releases
# 2. Install with DNF (it handles the rest)
$ sudo dnf install \
  ./almalinux-creative-installer-2.0.4-1.el9.noarch.rpm

# 3. Launch and start creating!
$ almalinux-creative-installer
⚠️ Advanced / fallback only. A manual RPM install gets no automatic updates. You must download and reinstall by hand for every new release. If you can, use the COPR tab above instead.
COPR is live with v2.0.4 as the current stable release. Future stable releases update automatically via sudo dnf upgrade.

Uninstalling

Pick the case that matches how you installed. The AlmaLinux version makes no difference here.

⚠️ This only removes the installer app itself. It does not undo anything the installer did for you. Any apps you installed, drivers you enabled, and repositories or settings it applied stay installed and active. Remove those separately if you want them gone.
bash — If you installed via COPR (recommended)
# 1. Remove the application
$ sudo dnf remove almalinux-creative-installer

# 2. Remove the COPR repository
$ sudo dnf copr remove tristantheroux/AlmaLinux-Creative-Installer
bash — If you installed the manual RPM
# No COPR repository to disable, so just remove the application
$ sudo dnf remove almalinux-creative-installer
