Introduction

Learn how to install specific versions of packages using YUM on CentOS/RHEL systems with detailed steps and advanced examples.

YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) is a powerful package management tool used in CentOS and RHEL-based systems. While installing the latest version of a package is straightforward, sometimes you might need a specific version. This guide covers the steps to install a specific package version using YUM, from basic to advanced examples.

Understanding YUM and RPM

YUM is a front-end tool for RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) that manages package installations, updates, and removals. RPM is the underlying package format used by Red Hat-based distributions. Understanding these tools is crucial for efficient package management.

What is YUM?

YUM simplifies the process of managing RPM packages by resolving dependencies and retrieving package metadata from repositories. It can install, update, and remove packages from your system.

What is RPM?

RPM is a low-level tool that installs, verifies, and manages packages in Red Hat-based systems. YUM uses RPM packages and handles their dependencies.
