Samba
indexterm:[Samba,Reference]indexterm:[Samba,Samba] [application]*Samba* is the standard open source Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux. It implements the _server message block_ (`SMB`) protocol. Modern versions of this protocol are also known as the _common Internet file system_ (`CIFS`) protocol. It allows the networking of Microsoft *Windows*, Linux, UNIX, and other operating systems together, enabling access to Windows-based file and printer shares. Samba's use of `SMB` allows it to appear as a Windows server to Windows clients.
Installing the samba package
In order to use [application]*Samba*, first ensure the [package]*samba* package is installed on your system by running, as `root`:
~]#{nbsp}dnf install samba
For more information on installing packages with DNF, see xref:package-management/DNF.adoc#sec-Installing[Installing Packages].
