|

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
|
||||
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.
|
||||
sudo dnf search packagename
|
||||
|
||||
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).

Features
|

~~~~~~~~
|
||||
To install the package:
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for multiple repositories
|
||||
* Simple configuration
|
||||
* Dependency calculation based on modern depsolving technology
|
||||
* Faster and less memory-intensive operation
|
||||
* RPM-consistent behavior
|
||||
* Package group support, including multiple-repository groups
|
||||
* Simple interface
|
||||
* Documented, solid Python API
|
||||
* DNF runs in both Python 2 and Python 3
|
||||
* C bindings for lower level libraries:
|
||||
** hawkey for package querying and depsolving. PackageKit is already
|
||||
making use of hawkey
|
||||
** librepo for repo operations. PackageKit is already making use of
|
||||
librepo
|
||||
** libcomps for comps operations
