DNF (abbreviation for Dandified YUM) [7] [8] [9] is a package manager for Red Hat-based Linux distributions and derivatives. DNF was introduced in Fedora 18 in 2013 as a replacement for yum; [10] it has been the default package manager since Fedora 22 in 2015 [11] and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 [when?] [12] and is also an alternative package manager for Mageia.
This was required due to Fedora's transition from Python 2 to Python 3, which is not supported by YUM. [10] DNF also improves on YUM in several ways - improved performance, better resolution of dependency conflicts, and easier integration with other software applications. [11] From RHEL 8, yum is an alias for DNF. [12]
pip (also known by Python 3's alias pip3) is a package-management system written in Python and is used to install and manage software packages. [4] The Python Software Foundation recommends using pip for installing Python applications and its dependencies during deployment. [5]
RPM is the Linux Standard Base packaging format and the base of a number of additional tools, including apt4rpm, Red Hat's up2date, Mageia's urpmi, openSUSE's ZYpp (zypper), PLD Linux's poldek, Fedora's DNF, and YUM, which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Yellow Dog Linux; slackpkg; slapt-get: An APT-like package manager for Slackware;
PackageKit is a free and open-source suite of software applications designed to provide a consistent and high-level abstraction layer for a number of different package management systems.
brew install python no longer installs a python binary without manual PATH additions and instead installs a python2 binary. This avoids overriding the system python binary by default when installing Python as a dependency. It also paves the way to eventually have python be Python 3.x. 1.2.0 2017-05-01
New research suggests that drinking sparkling water can help support weight loss through satiety and energy production. Researcher Akira Takanashi of Japan and nutrition experts shared thoughts.
An early package manager was SMIT (and its backend installp) from IBM AIX. SMIT was introduced with AIX 3.0 in 1989. [citation needed]Early package managers, from around 1994, had no automatic dependency resolution [3] but could already drastically simplify the process of adding and removing software from a running system.
