30 YUM Command Examples for Linux

Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum) is an open source package-management utility in Redhat based operating system. Yum takes care of automatic installation of dependent packages during package installation, removal, and updates.

Yum uses Redhat Package Manager (RPM) and can install software packages from yum repositories (collections of RPM packages), which can be accessed locally or over a network connection.

14. Update system with YUM

To update all installed packages in a single go or upgrade the system to the new release of the operating system, you can use the below command.

yum update

15. Exclude a Package from update with YUM

Sometimes, you want to prevent a package(s) from being updated. For that, you can use below command. You can mention multiple packages separated by a comma.

yum update --exclude kernel

16. Get history details with YUM

Until this step, you might have executed the yum command for many times. Below command will let you view historical data of successful yum command executions which have actions like install, erase, and update.

# yum history

ID is unique for each yum transaction and which will be useful in next few examples.

17. Check information yum history

To know what happened during the particular yum command execution, you can use yum history info command.

For example: let us see changes happened during yum execution (ID 9).

23. Enable repository with YUM

You can also enable a particular repository for the time being to install rpm package.

For example: To install any package from the epel-testing repository which is in disabled state (see 13th step output), the command might look like below.

yum install unifont --enablerepo=epel-testing

24. Enable repositories with YUM

Sometimes, multiple repositories have the same package. To avoid duplicates, you can use below command to enable particular repository by disabling all other repositories.

Use yum list or yum search command to know on which repository the package is available.

yum install httpd --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base

25. List package groups with YUM

Below command will list you the available groups and environments for your system.

# yum grouplist

Installing packages in a group will configure a system to a particular state. For example: if you install “Server with GUI” group then your system will have a grahical interface (desktop).

yum groupinstall "Server with GUI"

27. Generate Meta cache with YUM

Download and make usable all the metadata, like packages, for the currently enabled yum repositories. This command will help you faster the transcation of package installation.

# yum makecache

28. Clear caches with YUM

YUM creates caches in /var/cache/yum/ directory, and this needs to be cleared if you get any errors or make some disk space.

yum clean all

29. YUM shell

YUM has its own interactive shell prompt where you can do all tasks shown in previous steps. Below example shows you how to install a package with YUM shell.
