Difference Between YUM and RPM Package Manager
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Package managers play a key role in the Linux system.
|
||||
|
||||
It allows you to install, update, view, search and delete software packages to suit your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of the distributions has their own set of package managers and use them based on your Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
RPM is one of the oldest traditional package managers, designed to work on Red Hat-based systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Fedora and openSUSE (which is based on suse Enterprise Linux).
|
||||
|
||||
But when it comes to dependency resolution and package update (full system update/upgrade), there is an prominent limitation for RPM package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to know the **[difference between yum and dnf package manager][1]** go to the following article.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that yum can download and install all required dependencies automatically, but rpm will tell you to install a list of dependencies, and then you have to manually install them.
|
||||
|
||||
This is practically impossible and time consuming when you want to install a group of packages using the **[rpm command][2]**.
|
||||
|
||||
That’s where the **[YUM Package Manager][3]** comes in handy and solve both problems.
|
||||
|
||||
### What’s RPM?
|
||||
|
||||
RPM refers to RPM Package Manager (formerly known as Red Hat Package Manager) is a powerful, command-line package management tool developed for the Red Hat operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
It is now used as a core component in many Linux distributions such as Centos, Fedora, Oracle Linux, openSUSE and Mageia.
|
||||
|
||||
RPM Package Manager allows you to install, upgrade, delete, query and verify packages on RPM-based Linux systems.
|
||||
|
||||
RPM files comes with the `.rpm` extension. The RPM package consists of an archive file, that contains libraries and dependencies for a specific package, that do not conflict with other packages installed on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many front-end tools available on Linux to install the RPM package that make the installation process more efficiently compared to the RPM tool, especially for handling dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### What’s YUM?
|
||||
|
||||
Yum is a free and open-source command-line package-management application for Linux operating systems that uses the RPM Package Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Yum is a front-end tool for rpm that automatically solves dependencies for packages.
|
||||
|
||||
It installs RPM software packages from distribution official repositories and other third-party repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
Yum allows you to install, update, search and remove packages from your system.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to keep your system up-to-date, you can enable automatic updates via yum-cron.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it allows you to exclude a package or packages from the yum update if you need to.
|
||||
|
||||
Yum is installed by default and you do not need to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
S.No | RPM | YUM
|
||||
---|---|---
|
||||
1 | Red Hat introduced RPM in 1997. | Yellowdog UPdater (YUP) was developed in 1999-2001 and YUM replaced the original YUP utility in 2003.
|
||||
2 | RPM stands for RPM Package manager (formally known as Red Hat package manager) | YUM stands for Yellowdog Updater Modified.
|
||||
3 | The RPM File Naming Convention is as follows.
|
||||
httpd-2.4.6-92.el7.x86_64.rpm
|
||||
httpd - Name of the actual package
|
||||
2.4.6 - Version of package release
|
||||
92 - Subversion of package release
|
||||
el7 - Red Hat Version
|
||||
x86_64 - Hardware architecture
|
||||
rpm - File extension | It uses the rpm database in the backend.
|
||||
4 | It doesn't resolve dependencies, you must install them manually. | It automatically resolves dependencies and install them simultaneously (any package will be installed with its dependencies).
|
||||
5 | This allows you to install multiple versions of the package at once | This does not allow and shows that the package is already installed.
|
||||
6 | When installing a package using the RPM command you must provide the exact location of the ".rpm" package. | You can install any package available in the repository, but you only need to know the package name.
|
||||
7 | RPM is not dependent on YUM | It is a frontend tool that uses the RPM package manager on the backend to manage packages.
|
||||
8 | It is difficult to manage RPM in terms of package installation | YUM is the easiest way to manage RPM packages.
|
||||
9 | RPM doesn't allow you to upgrade the entire system to the latest available version | YUM allows you to upgrade your system to the latest available version (minor version upgrade, for example, 7.0 to 7.x)
|
||||
10 | RPM doesn't allow you to automatically update/upgrade packages installed on your system | YUM allows you to automatically update/upgrade the updates available on your system.
|
||||
11 | It doesn't use the online repository to perform any actions. | It relies entirely on the online repository to do all the work.
|
||||
12 | RPM is a package format and it is a low-level package manager that does basic things. | This is a top-level front-end package manager that can do everything you need.
