linux yum command
yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) is a Shell front-end package manager in Fedora and RedHat and SUSE.
Based on RPM package management, it can automatically download and install RPM packages from designated servers. It can automatically handle dependencies and install all dependent software packages at once, without the need to download and install them again and again.
yum provides commands to find, install, and delete a certain, a group, or even all software packages, and the commands are concise and easy to remember.
