Andrea 3df8a4b380 yum: add "provides" example (#1132)
"yum provides" is incredibly useful when you come from a different distro,
and you don't know exactly what package provides a particular command.

yum

Package management utility for RHEL, Feodra, and CentOS (for older versions).

  • Synchronize list of packages and versions available. This should be run first, before running subsequent yum commands:

yum update

  • Install a new package:

yum install {{package}}

  • Install a new package and assume yes to all questions (also works with update, great for automated updates):

yum -y install {{package}}

  • Find the package that provides a particular command:

yum provides {{command}}

  • Remove a package:

yum remove {{package}}

  • Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:

yum upgrade
