#29 - Package Management (Yum/DNF) on Linux CentOS 8

Learn to manage application packages in Linux CentOS 8. In RHEL 8 / CentOS 8, like in all modern linux distributions, software is organized in repositories, in the form of packages. A package is basically a compressed archive which contains the files associated with a specific software, like compiled binaries and libraries, plus metadata and instructions about where and how those files should be installed on the system, the external dependencies the software needs to run correctly and more.
In CentOS 8, for the package management, we can use RPM (RedHat Package Manager), Yum (Yellowdog Updater Modified) or DNF (Dandified Yum). RPM is a low-level command-line tool for installing, querying, verifying, updating, and removing RMP packages. When installing RPM packages should prefer using the yum or dnf as they automatically resolve all dependencies for you.
