Basic yum commands
● yum list -- lists the packages that are not installed but available.
● yum list updates -- lists updates that are available for the installed packages.
● yum list installed -- lists all the installed packages.
● yum install [package name]
yum install php [ENTER]
... this installs the latest version of a package or group of packages, satisfying all the
dependencies.
● yum update [package name]
yum update php [ENTER]
... this updates the php package if an updated release is available for the specified package. If you
would like to update every package that is currently installed in your system, run this command
without any package name. In either case dependencies are checked and satisfied.
● yum info [package name]
yum info php [ENTER]
... this returns a brief introduction of the package your are going to install. You don't have to
have this package installed (unlike rpm -qi). If an updated release of the package is available it
will display information regarding both.
● yum provides [file name]
yum provides /usr/bin/php
... this would return the package that installed the /usr/bin/php file. It differs from rpm -qf the
same way as described for the previous one.
● yum remove [package name]
yum remove php
... this removes the installed php package (dependency check surely done).
There is a yum mailing list available to any user or developer of yum for the discussion of the ongoing
development and usage of this awesome program. For more information, see
yum official mailing
lists.
