= APT commands on Fedora
|
||||
|
||||
APT is the package manager/dependency solver for the Debian ecosystem, i.e. it manages `.deb` packages installed by the dpkg program. Fedora software uses `.rpm` packages, and thus uses DNF, the package manager/dependency solver for the RPM program. This document gives a brief overview of the most common APT commands one might find in tutorials and their DNF equivalents.

The `apt` command on Fedora used to - until https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Move_apt_package_from_RPM_to_DPKG_backend[Fedora 32] - actually be `apt-rpm`, which basically mapped normal apt commands so that they worked with Fedora's RPM package management system.

However, `apt-rpm` is unmaintained, broken & insecure, and so was dropped in favour of shipping the actual Debian `apt` software. Since `apt` exclusively deals with `.deb` packages, the `apt` command can no longer be used to manage Fedora packages. It's purpose is now purely as a tool for people trying to build packages for Debian-based distributions on a Fedora system.
