Package management utility for RHEL, Feodra, and CentOS (for older versions).
- Synchronize list of packages and versions available. This should be run first, before running subsequent yum commands:
yum update
- Install a new package:
yum install {{package}}
- Install a new package and assume yes to all questions (also works with update, great for automated updates):
yum -y install {{package}}
- Find the package that provides a particular command:
yum provides {{command}}
- Remove a package:
yum remove {{package}}
- Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:
yum upgrade
