Mastering Linux Package Management: APT, YUM, DNF, and More

A package manager is a collection of software tools that automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer's operating system. Package managers maintain a database of available packages, their dependencies, and their versions.

  • APT (Advanced Package Tool): Used primarily in Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu.
  • YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified): Traditionally used in Red Hat-based distributions like CentOS.
  • DNF (Dandified YUM): The next-generation version of YUM, used in Fedora and CentOS 8+.
  • Zypper: Used in openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
  • Pacman: Used in Arch Linux and its derivatives.
