DNF is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on Fedora and is the successor to YUM (Yellow-Dog Updater Modified).
|
||||||
|
DNF makes it easy to maintain packages by automatically checking for dependencies and determines the actions required to install packages.
|
||||||
|
This method eliminates the need to manually install or update the package, and its dependencies, using the `rpm` command.

This page was automatically converted from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF
|
DNF has replaced YUM as the default package manager for Fedora since version 22.
|
||||||
|
However, for earlier versions of Fedora, starting from version 18, DNF can be installed from the command-line with:

||||||
|
|
||||||
It is probably

*DNF* is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes
|
sudo dnf search packagename
|
||||||
link:package[packages] on RPM-based Linux distributions. It
|
|
||||||
automatically computes dependencies and determines the actions required
|
|
||||||
to install packages. DNF also makes it easier to maintain groups of
|
|
||||||
machines, eliminating the need to manually update each one using rpm.
|
|
||||||
Introduced in Fedora 18, it has been the default package manager since
|
|
||||||
Fedora 22.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
DNF or Dandified yum is the next generation version of yum. It roughly
|
----
|
||||||
maintains CLI compatibility with yum and defines a strict API for
|
|
||||||
extensions and plugins. Plugins can modify or extend features of DNF or
|
|
||||||
provide additional CLI commands on top of those mentioned below. If you
|
|
||||||
know the name of such a command (including commands mentioned bellow),
|
|
||||||
you may find/install the package which provides it using the appropriate
|
|
||||||
virtual provide in the form of dnf-command() where is the name of the
|
|
||||||
command; e.g. dnf-command(repoquery) for a repoquery command (the same
|
|

applies to specifying dependencies of packages that require a particular

|

command).
