yum Fedora Linux Howto - Linux / UNIX Forum

Here are a few quick Yum Commands that I found in a Forum. These would be helpful in updating and installing Apps in Fedora...

Step # 2 Update your package list:

Code:

# yum check-update

Step # 3 start to use yum

Install a new package called foo

Code:

# yum install foo

To update packages

Code:

# yum update

To update a single package called bar

Code:

# yum update bar

To remove a package called telnet

Code:

# yum remove telnet

To list all packages

Code:

# yum list installed

You can search using grep command

Code:

# yum list installed | grep samba

Display information on a package called foo

Code:

# yum info foo

To display list of packages for which updates are available

Code:

# yum list updates
