yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified
yum is an interactive, rpm based, package manager. It can automatically perform system updates, including dependency analysis and obsolete processing based on "repository" metadata. It can also perform installation of new packages, removal of old packages and perform queries on the installed and/or available packages among many other commands/services (see below).
yum is similar to other high level package managers like apt-get and smart.
While there are some graphical interfaces directly to the yum code, more recent graphical interface development is happening with PackageKit and the gnome-packagekit application.
Additional packages
To install rpmforge extras it's necessary to install the rpmforge-release package by hand. The example below is for Centos 6. See http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge or http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/ for your version.
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpmInstalling packages
[root@centos1 ~]# <input>yum -y install atftp-server</input>
<notice>...OMITTED OUTPUT...</notice>
---> Package atftp-server.x86_64 0:0.7-6.el6.rf will be installed
Installed:
atftp-server.x86_64 0:0.7-6.el6.rfListing installed packages
To list installed packages it is necessary to use rpm
[root@centos1 ~]# <input>rpm -qa</input>
iwl100-firmware-39.31.5.1-1.el6.noarch
hwdata-0.233-7.6.el6.noarch
aic94xx-firmware-30-2.el6.noarch
rpcbind-0.2.0-8.el6.x86_64
<notice>...OMITTED OUTPUT...</notice>Finding packages
By known filename
using a glob */FILENAME will instruct yum to search for a file in a package
For example remembering that the configuration file for a dhcp server is called dhcpd.conf - you search for the package name with the following command, and find the package is called dhcp or more specific dhcp-4.1.1-25.P1.el6.x86_64
[root@centos1 ~]# <input>yum provides */dhcpd.conf</input>
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
<notice>...OMITTED OUTPUT...</notice>
12:dhcp-4.1.1-25.P1.el6.x86_64 : Dynamic host configuration protocol software
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.confBy known function or words
It is possible to search all available packages for a text string. For example searching for a specific tftp server
[root@centos1 ~]# <input>yum search all "tftp"</input>
