在红帽Linux中使用YUM包管理器

YUM是RHEL系统中提供的一个安装，卸载和搜索软件包的工具。它能做的不仅仅是安装、卸载软件包，它能做的还有更多，下面我们将在本文中为你展示。

YUM可以自动安装软件包的依赖包，例如当你使用yum安装httpd时，它还会自动安装https apache server以及它依赖的软件包。通过rpm软件包安装时就没有这么方便咯（译注：就是不会自动处理软件包依赖问题咯！），你必须下载所有它依赖的软件包，然后依序安装它们。

yum工具从远端服务器上的软件仓库（通常由OS提供商提供）获取软件包的信息。一个软件仓库是能在特定架构上运行的一系列rpm软件包的集合。例如，对于32位和64位系统各有一个软件仓库，还有针对RHEL5以及RHEL6的软件仓库。你也可以建立一个本地仓库，配置你的yum让其从你的本地仓库里搜索安装软件包。在接下来的例子中，我将向你展示除了安装和卸载软件，yum还可以做的其它事情。为方便理解，我将在我的Amazon EC2 RHEL 6.4服务器上使用httpd软件包为例。

从软件仓库里搜索软件包

# yum search httpd

Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, security
==================== N/S Matched: httpd ==========
httpd.x86_64 : Apache HTTP Server
httpd-devel.i686 : Development interfaces for the Apache HTTP server
httpd-devel.x86_64 : Development interfaces for the Apache HTTP server
httpd-manual.noarch : Documentation for the Apache HTTP server
httpd-tools.x86_64 : Tools for use with the Apache HTTP Server
mod_dav_svn.x86_64 : Apache httpd module for Subversion server
mod_dnssd.x86_64 : An Apache HTTPD module which adds Zeroconf support

想获得详细的输出信息，可以使用下面的命令：

# yum provides httpd

Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, security
httpd-2.2.15-26.el6.x86_64 : Apache HTTP Server
Repo : rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases
Matched from:

yum provides httpd在软件仓库里搜索含有httpd的软件包。

提供所有软件组列表

# yum grouplist

以上命令将为你显示已经安装的以及可用的软件组。你可以使用软件组安装选项来安装其中一个软件组。例如，我们将安装一个PHP Support的软件组。这个软件组内包含需要的PHP软件包。

# yum groupinstall PHP Support

Loaded plugins: amazon-id, downloadonly, rhui-lb, security

如你所见，在安装httpd时yum安装了额外的软件包。这称为yum完成的依赖包解析。

假如你不想让yum弹出[y/N]选项，可以使用yum install -y httpd

使用yum update 命令更新一个已存在的软件包

# yum update httpd
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, security
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

这意味着你系统中安装的httpd软件包已经是yum软件仓库里的最新版本的了。

更新服务器上所有的软件包

# yum update

以上命令将系统上的所有软件包更新到最新版本，包括内核软件包，这意味着你的OS更新到了RHEL提供的最新版本了。

下载RPM软件包但是不安装

可以使用yum从RHEL或者CentOS的软件仓库里下载RPM软件包但是不安装。你首先需要下载一个插件让yum只下载rpm软件包而不安装。插件名字叫downloadonly，可以通过yum安装，如下所示：

# yum install yum-downloadonly
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, security

现在你就可以从软件仓库里只下载软件包而不安装了，命令如下：

# yum install httpd-devel -downloadonly

默认情况下软件包会被下载到/var/cache/yum/目录，但是你可以添加额外选项将其下载到指定位置

# yum install httpd-devel -downloadonly -downloaddir=/opt

假如你有一个rpm软件包但是没有它所依赖的软件包，你不知道到哪去得到它所依赖的软件包。你仍然可以通过yum安装这个rpm软件包，并从软件仓库里得到它所依赖的软件包。让我们安装刚刚下载的httpd-devel-2.2.15-29.el64.x8664 RPM软件包。

列出所有安装的软件包

假如你要列出你系统上安装的所有软件包，你可以使用yum list installed命令。这条命令结合grep命令是非常有用的，可以用来检查某个特定的软件包是否已被安装。这与使用rpm -qa命令询问已经安装的软件包相似。
