Package management is the process of installing, updating and removing software from specific repositories in Linux. Different package management tools are used by Linux distros. Red Hat-based distros often use RPM (RPM package manager) and YUM/DNF. YUM is Red Hat Enterprise Linux's primary package management tool. It allows you to install, update, remove, and manage software packages. YUM handles dependency resolution when updating, installing, and removing software packages.
