Shalom,

Example:
yum -y install mysql*

This will install all mysql* packages without the y/n prompt before install (-y)

There is a man page as well that works pretty well to learn the command.

First find that package you would like to install by doing a 'yum list *traf*'; for me it maybe 'iptraf' and I proceed to install this package by doing 'yum install iptraf'. Yum configuration is fine-tuned via /etc/yum.conf and the repostiories from where your packages are going to be fetched from is set via the seperate files inside '/etc/yum.repos.d/'. 'man yum' is your friend.

Hi Vaishakh,

Regarding yum,

To register your system with RHN type the following command and just follow instructions (CentOS user skip to next step):

# rhn_register

WARNING! These examples only works with RHEL / CentOS Linux version 5.x or above. For RHEL 4.x and older version use up2date command.

Type the following command at shell prompt:

# yum list updates

>>Patch up system by applying all updates
To download and install all updates type the following command:

# yum update

List all installed packages, enter:

# rpm -qa
# yum list installed



Install the specified packages [ RPM(s) ]
# yum install {package-name-1} {package-name-2}
