Most of you new fedora installers would have seen that yum has been replaced by dnf. It just means Dandified YUM . Yeah I can see most of you rolling your eyes. Well, anyway here it is.
For simplification purpose DNF is python3 implementation of YUM . It also other added improved features of like
- documented API
- improved dependency solving algorithm
- refactoring internal functions.
But we are just lay users we just wanna know what is the alternative to
sudo yum install my-very-imp-pkg
Well fedora folks have made it very easy, just replace yum with dnf
sudo dnf install my-very-imp-pkg
Also if you have some wrapper scripts around yum commands , you can just search and replace them with dnf
Yeap its that simple and your are good to go. And its quite faster too
For more info: man dnf
