I usually work on Debian based Linux distros, but the other day while sorting some NYC street photos I took a friend contacted me asking me how to list installed packages in Red Hat, CentOS and Fedora.
- Using RPM Package Manager
- Using YUM Package Manager
- Using YUM-Utils
Using RPM Package Manager
The RPM package manager is an open source, low level package manager which runs on Red Hat based Linux distros. You can list installed Packages in Red Hat very easy with rpm.
The following command will print a list of all installed packages on your Linux box, the flag -q means query and the flag -a means to list all installed packages:
rpm -qaUsing YUM Package Manager
YUM stands for Yellowdog Updater Modified is an interactive, front-end rpm based package manager.
Using the command below will list all installed packages on your Linux box. One cool thing about this Linux package manager is that it lists the repository from which a package was installed:
yum list installedUsing YUM-Utils
Yum-utils is an assortment of tools and programs for managing yum repositories in your Linux box. Using this tool you can install debug packages, source packages and you can view extended information from repositories. You might need to install it using yum:
yum update && yum install yum-utilsOnce you have Yum-Utils installed run the following command in your Linux terminal to list all installed packages:
repoquery -a --installed
