Yum

Yum (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) is a package management tool used primarily on Linux distributions like CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It simplifies the process of installing, updating, and managing software applications by automatically handling dependencies—other necessary software components. Instead of manually downloading and configuring software, users can use Yum commands to easily add, remove, or upgrade programs from centralized online repositories. This makes maintaining and keeping software up-to-date more efficient, secure, and organized, ensuring all components work smoothly together within the system.
