To list all the packages available for installation on Red Hat or CentOS Linux, you can use the yum
package manager and the list
subcommand.
For example, to list all the packages available for installation, you can use the following command:
yum list available
This will display a list of all the packages available in the enabled repositories on your system.
You can also use the grep
command to filter the list of packages by keyword. For example, to list all the packages containing the word "nginx," you can use the following command:
yum list available | grep nginx
You can also use the yum list
command with various options to display different information about the available packages. For example, you can use the yum list all
command to display all the packages, including those that are already installed.
It's always a good idea to carefully review the documentation and use the appropriate options to get the information you need.
