Ensure AlmaLinux GPG Key Installed |
To ensure the system can cryptographically verify base software
packages come from AlmaLinux, the AlmaLinux GPG key must properly be installed.
To install the AlmaLinux GPG key, run:
$ sudo rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux
If the system is not connected to the Internet,
then install the AlmaLinux GPG key from trusted media such as
the AlmaLinux installation CD-ROM or DVD. Assuming the disc is mounted
in /media/cdrom, use the following command as the root user to import
it into the keyring:
$ sudo rpm --import /media/cdrom/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux

Changes to software components can have significant effects on the
overall security of the operating system. This requirement ensures
the software has not been tampered with and that it has been provided
by a trusted vendor. The AlmaLinux GPG key is necessary to
cryptographically verify packages are from AlmaLinux.
