I would like to know how i can install Yum if this is not installed in my linux machine. I am getting error “yum: command not found” . Any help is appreciated.
The package manager depends on the Linux distro you installed. If you don’t have yum
, it will most likely be apt
. So try that one. If it doesn’t work, report back here and tell us which Linux distro you’re using.
EDIT: You should just use the package manager that comes with your distro, otherwise you’ll make your life difficult.
THansk a lot for responding. I am having SuSe linux . and i didn’t see any Yum or apt installed. But i see YaST2 under /var/lib/ . But i dont know how i can use this . Need help on how we can YaST2 if this is the right one to use.
I’ve never used opensuse or yast, so can’t help you with that.
But honestly, using a package manager isn’t that difficult, so just google what you want to do and you’ll figure it out
Hi @dasarianand
'yum' command is specific for Redhat , if you are using Suse , use 'zypper' instead.
Each distribution of linux has its own command for installing packages:
'apt' or 'apt-get' command is for Ubuntu & Debian
'yum' or 'dnf' is for Centos/Redhat/Fedora
'zypper' is for Suse/Opensuse
ex:
zypper install <package> ## install a package in Suse
Good Luck !
