This article is to share with you what the concept of Linux apt tool is and how to apply it. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

How to use Linux apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) to maintain Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to provide solutions to problems that individual RHEL users cannot upgrade. Keywords: APT,Linux, upgrade, Red Hat Enterprise Linux,RHEL,YUM,RPM, dependency.

The headache for administrators in Linux system maintenance is the dependence between software packages. It is often that you want to install A software, but when compiling, it tells you that you need B software before installing X software, and when you install Y software, you need Z library again-- it is not easy to install Z library, and found that there is something wrong with the version. Maybe many friends have had this experience. Debian system is based on apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) tool for software package management, which can automatically solve and install dependent software packages, so debian linux is considered to be the easiest system to manage and upgrade, and Linux apt tool is also considered to be one of the current software package management tools. In order to solve the fatal problem of the redhat package management system, Conectiva Linux transplants the Linux apt system to the Linux system that uses the rpm package management system, so that the system based on the RPM package can make use of the ability to automatically solve the dependency provided by the Linux apt tool.

At present, there are many sites that provide Linux apt upgrade management software packages for redhat linux, such as http://freshrpms.net, http://apt.unl.edu and so on, which makes redhat one of the distributions that can use apt tools. This article describes how to install and use apt software package management tools in redhat linux systems. In fact, the open source community has long tried to solve this problem, and different distributions have launched their own tools, such as

YUM of Dog

Debian

APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) and so on. And these software are also gradually transplanted to other distributions by open source software enthusiasts.

The upgrade of Redhat Enterprise Linux often brings a lot of problems to administrators: the download speed of the website is too slow, it is not safe enough, of course, more people can not update-copyright issues. After a period of comparison, I feel that using APT to maintain RHEL has a special convenience. Some friends may say, yum is also good! Yes, yum does well in many cases, but if the Linux is RHEL, it is difficult to find a suitable database for yum.)

The above is what the concept of Linux apt tools is and how to apply it. The editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
