This article will explain in detail the available software package groups listed in the Linux system, and the content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it for you as a reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

Software installation on Linux systems can be installed using the package manager, so package tool management is very important for system administrators, so how do you list the available package groups in Linux?

How to list available package groups on CentOS/RHEL systems RHEL and CentOS systems use RPM packages, so you can use the yum package manager to get relevant package information.

Yum, which stands for "Yellowdog Updater, Modified", is an open source command line package management tool for RPM-based systems such as RHEL and CentOS. It is the primary tool for obtaining, installing, deleting, querying, and managing RPM packages from distribution repositories or other third-party libraries.

If Done needs to list the associated packages, you can execute the following command. The following example lists the packages associated with the "Performance Tools" group.

# yum groupinfo "Performance Tools" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Setting up Group Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: ewr.edge.kernel.org Group: Performance Tools Description: Tools for diagnosing system and application-level performance problems. Mandatory Packages: blktrace sysstat Default Packages: dstat iotop latencytop latencytop-tui oprofile perf powertop seekwatcher Optional Packages: oprofile-jit papi sdparm sg3_utils tiobench tuned tuned-utils how to list available package groups on a Fedora system the Fedora system uses the DNF package manager, so the relevant information can be obtained through the DNF package manager.

DNF means "Dandified yum". The DNF package manager is a branch of the YUM package manager that uses the hawkey/libsolv library as the back end. Starting with Fedora 18, Ale engineer Kozuml í k started the development of DNF until it was added to the system in Fedora 22.

The dnf command installs, updates, searches, and removes packages on Fedora 22 and later, and automatically resolves package dependencies and installs them smoothly without problems.

YUM is replaced by DNF because there are some problems in YUM that have not been solved for a long time. Why didn't Ale Ale Kozumpll í k fix these problems with yum? he believes that patches solve technical problems, and the YUM team will not accept these changes right away, and there are some important issues. And the code volume of YUM is 56,000 lines, while that of DNF is 29,000 lines. So there is no need to continue development in the direction of YUM, and a new branch is a better choice.

Zypper is the command line package manager for suse and openSUSE distributions. It can be used to install, update, search and delete software packages, manage repositories, execute various queries, and so on. The Zypper command line interface uses the ZYpp system Management Library (libzypp).

Tasksel is a very convenient tool on the Debian/Ubuntu system, which can be used to install a set of software packages with little operation. You can schedule the installation of the package in the .desc file in the / usr/share/tasksel directory.

By default, the tasksel tool is installed as part of the Debian system, but the desktop version of Ubuntu does not come with tasksel, which is similar to the meta-packages in the package manager.

The tasksel tool comes with a simple zenity-based user interface, such as a pop-up graphical dialog box on the command line.

Pacman is the abbreviation of "package manager". Pacman can be used to install, build, remove, and manage Arch Linux packages. Pacman uses libalpm (Arch Linux Package Management Library, ALPM) as the backend to perform all operations.
