The '''community''' repository for an Alpine release contains community supported packages that were accepted from the testing repository.
However, they are not guaranteed to be supported beyond six months.
 
Edit the file {{Path|/etc/apk/repositories}} using an editor ({{Pkg|nano}} for instance) and add (or uncomment) a line that points to the "community" directory, as in:
 
'''https://<mirror>/alpine/<version>/community'''
 
After enabling the community repository, obtain the latest index of available packages with:
{{Cmd|apk update}}

The '''community''' repository was introduced with Alpine Linux version 3.3, and required to enable it to continue to use some former '''main''' packages.
