来源：互联网 发布：手机家长控制软件 编辑：程序博客网 时间：2024/05/22 09:39
In this article, we will learn how to install, update, remove, find packages, manage packages and repositories on Linux systems using YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) tool developed by RedHat. The example commands shown in this article are practically tested on our CentOS 6.3 server, you can use these material for study purpose, certifications or just to explore ways to install new packages and keep your system up-to-date. The basic requirement of this article is, you must have a basic understanding of commands and a working Linux operating system, where you can explore and practice all the commands listed below.
What is YUM?
YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) is an open source command-line as well as graphical based package management tool forRPM (RedHat Package Manager) based Linux systems. It allows users and system administrator to easily install, update, remove or search software packages on a systems. It was developed and released bySeth Vidal under GPL (General Public License) as an open source, means anyone can allowed to download and access the code to fix bugs and develop customized packages.YUM uses numerous third party repositories to install packages automatically by resolving their dependencies issues.
1. Install a Package with YUM
To install a package called Firefox 14, just run the below command it will automatically find and install all required dependencies for Firefox.
# yum install firefoxLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorDependencies Resolved================================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================================Updating:firefox i686 10.0.6-1.el6.centos updates 20 MUpdating for dependencies: xulrunner i686 10.0.6-1.el6.centos updates 12 MTransaction Summary================================================================================================Install 0 Package(s)Upgrade 2 Package(s)Total download size: 32 MIs this ok [y/N]: yDownloading Packages:(1/2): firefox-10.0.6-1.el6.centos.i686.rpm | 20 MB 01:10(2/2): xulrunner-10.0.6-1.el6.centos.i686.rpm | 12 MB 00:52------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Total 63 kB/s | 32 MB 02:04Updated: firefox.i686 0:10.0.6-1.el6.centosDependency Updated: xulrunner.i686 0:10.0.6-1.el6.centosComplete!
The above command will ask confirmation before installing any package on your system. If you want to install packages automatically without asking any confirmation, use option-y as shown in below example.
# yum -y install firefox
2. Removing a Package with YUM
To remove a package completely with their all dependencies, just run the following command as shown below.
# yum remove firefoxLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorSetting up Remove ProcessResolving Dependencies--> Running transaction check---> Package firefox.i686 0:10.0.6-1.el6.centos set to be erased--> Finished Dependency ResolutionDependencies Resolved==================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ====================================================================================================Removing: firefox i686 10.0.6-1.el6.centos @updates 23 MTransaction Summary====================================================================================================Remove 1 Package(s)Reinstall 0 Package(s)Downgrade 0 Package(s)Is this ok [y/N]: yDownloading Packages:Running rpm_check_debugRunning Transaction TestTransaction Test SucceededRunning Transaction Erasing : firefox-10.0.6-1.el6.centos.i686 1/1Removed: firefox.i686 0:10.0.6-1.el6.centosComplete!
Same way the above command will ask confirmation before removing a package. To disable confirmation prompt just add option -y as shown in below.
# yum -y remove firefox
3. Updating a Package using YUM
Let’s say you have outdated version of MySQL package and you want to update it to the latest stable version. Just run the following command it will automatically resolves all dependencies issues and install them.
# yum update mysqlLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorDependencies Resolved============================================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size============================================================================================================Updating: vsftpd i386 2.0.5-24.el5_8.1 updates 144 kTransaction Summary============================================================================================================Install 0 Package(s)Upgrade 1 Package(s)Total size: 144 kIs this ok [y/N]: yDownloading Packages:Running rpm_check_debugRunning Transaction TestFinished Transaction TestTransaction Test SucceededRunning Transaction Updating : vsftpd 1/2 Cleanup : vsftpd 2/2Updated: vsftpd.i386 0:2.0.5-24.el5_8.1Complete!
4. List a Package using YUM
Use the list function to search for the specific package with name. For example to search for a package calledopenssh, use the command.
# yum list opensshLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.neu.edu.cn * epel: mirror.neu.edu.cn * extras: mirror.neu.edu.cn * rpmforge: mirror.nl.leaseweb.net * updates: mirror.nus.edu.sgInstalled Packagesopenssh.i386 4.3p2-72.el5_6.3 installedAvailable Packages 4.3p2-82.el5 base
To make your search more accurate, define package name with their version, in case you know. For example to search for a specific versionopenssh-4.3p2 of the package, use the command.
# yum list openssh-4.3p2
5. Search for a Package using YUM
If you don’t remember the exact name of the package, then use search function to search all the available packages to match the name of the package you specified. For example, to search all the packages that matches the word.
