What is DNF?
DNF or Dandified YUM is the package manager of Fedora and Fedora derivatives and is the successor of Yellow-dog Updater Modified or YUM package manager. It is used to manage packages, i.e. install, upgrade, update, reinstall, and uninstall them among other things. DNF has been the default package manager of Fedora since version 22 (2015) and it was first introduced in version 18 in 2013.
DNF vs RPM
RPM is also a package management system in Fedora and DNF works on top of it. Fedora’s documentation pushes users towards DNF instead of using RPM, as it is not capable of automatically finding and installing dependencies of a package, which means users will have to manually find and install them.
Today we will learn how to use the DNF package manager; i.e. You would learn how to install, search, uninstall, and do more things using it.
