Summary of the use of Yum installation software in Linux systems

From Windows to Linux, one of the unaccustomed places is that it's very slow to install and remove software from the graphical interface. But if you have mastered the configuration program using Yum's command-line mode, you will certainly love this powerful tool from the bottom of your heart. Because Yum provides commands to find, install, and delete one, a group, or even all of the packages, and the commands are concise and well-remembered.

Yum's command form is generally as follows: Yum [options] [command] [package ...]
The options are optional, including-H (Help),-y (when the installation process prompts you to select all "Yes"),-Q (does not show the installation process), and so on. [command] for the action you want to take, [package ...] Is the object of the operation.

Summarizes some of the commonly used commands include:

Automatically search for the fastest image plugin: Yum install Yum-fastestmirror
Installing the Yum graphics window plugin: Yum install Yumex

Yum groupremove group1 Remove program group Group1
Yum deplist package1 Viewer package1 Dependencies
5 Clear Cache
Yum Clean packages Clear Cache directory packages
Yum Clean headers Clear Cache directory headersyum clean oldheaders clears the cache directory for the old headers
Yum clean, yum clear all (= Yum cleaner packages; Yum cleanoldheaders) clears the cache directory for the soft Package and the old headers

For example, to install a game program group, first look for:
#:yum grouplist
It can be found that the installable game package name is "games and entertainment" so that it can be installed:
#:yum Groupinstall "Games and entertainment"
All the game packages are installed automatically. Here the name of the Games Andentertainment must be selected in double quotes, because Linux encounters a space below it will assume that the file name ends, so you must tell the system installed package name is "Gamesand Entertainment" instead of "games".

In addition, you can modify the configuration file/etc/yum.conf Select the installation source. It can be seen how easy it is to configure the Yum program. More detailed options and commands, of course, just below the command prompt line: Manyum
