PackageManagement (OneGet)

Installing, patching, and removing software packages on Linux machines is one of the common tasks every sysadmin has to do. Here is how to get started with Linux package management in Linux Red Hat-based distributions (distros). Package management is a method of installing, updating, removing, and keeping track of software updates from specific repositories (repos) in the Linux system. Linux distros often use different package management tools. Red Hat-based distros use RPM (RPM Package Manager) and YUM/DNF (Yellow Dog Updater, Modified/Dandified YUM). YUM is the primary package management tool for installing, updating, removing and managing software packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. YUM performs dependency resolution when installing, updating, and removing software packages. YUM can manage packages from installed repositories in the system or from .rpm packages. There are many options and commands available to use with YUM.

A CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries. Homebrew Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to the installation and management of GUI macOS applications such as Atom and Google Chrome. We do this by providing a friendly CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries. To start using Homebrew Cask, you just need Homebrew installed. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins, and other non-open source software. Homebrew Cask is implemented as part of Homebrew. All Homebrew Cask commands begin with brew, which works for both Casks and Formulae. The command brew install accepts one or multiple Cask tokens. Homebrew Cask comes with bash and zsh completion for the brew command. Since the Homebrew Cask repository is a Homebrew Tap, you’ll pull down the latest Casks every time you issue the regular Homebrew command brew update.
