Fedora is a distribution that uses a package management system. This system is based on the http://rpm.org[RPM Package Manager], with several higher-level tools built on top of it, most notably https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/[PackageKit] (the default package management tool) and the link:Yum[yum] (command line tool). As of Fedora 22, yum has been replaced by link:Dnf[dnf]. The Gnome Package Manager is a graphical package manager.
