I haven't configured YUM .
How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards.
I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM.
Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured?
And yes, how do i use the apt-get on Cent OS too.
Note that I will be using only one at a time. And I will keep the other thing for future reference.
Thank you.
First, YUM is always installed & configured by defaut. To insure it is installed, run this command # rpm -qv yum If the answer were that package yum is not installed so you should use the installtion CDs to install it or use any of the download mirrors listed @ http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
If it is already installed run the following command # yum -y update if it is a fresh install you may get a message about missing GPG key, in this case run the following command # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 for CentOS-4 OR # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-3 for CentOS-3 Otherwise, if you got messages about setting up repos so your YUM is working
To install any package issue the command # yum -y install Package_Name
Finally, Main yum configuration file is /etc/yum.conf & repos configuration resides under /etc/yum.repos.d
Also, you can find apt RPM @ http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repoview/apt-0-...
Hope this will help Hameed
(Contents of the configuration files below based on CentOS-4 only, Don't use for CentOS-3) Default main configuration file is /etc/yum.conf & here is a snapshot of its default settings
########################## Begin /etc/yum.conf ########################## [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=centos-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d ########################## End /etc/yum.conf ##########################
Under /etc/yum.repos.d you should have the repos files

<argumentative> YUM and APT are not CentOS-specific and this is not a CentOS question. </argumentative>

P.S. Before you jump on me, read a few threads back. I'm just using this as an example, and it is not intented to be an insult to Mr. McKagan. Quite the opposite, I think this is a standard CentOS question that should be allowed. If people feel otherwise, then put it in a FAQ and reference it.

----- I get your point - I thought posting about getting Firefox / java / flash going on 86/64 was probably invaluable to some people and the criticism of it unnecessary.
We all know that you have at times rambled on but your knowledge is an asset and I am glad your on this message base and know how to hit the delete when the topic doesn't interest me.
Thanks - please lighten up on the sarcasm

Did you look at man yum.conf? or man yum? Or the yum wiki?

Yum is very simple to use and, if you want, includes lots of extra features - even a plugin system. So, the question becomes why bother getting apt setup on a CentOS box when yum is already installed/configured?
"Because I know apt well" isn't much of an answer since yum is easy to learn very very few people use apt on CentOS - meaning you will have a hard time getting support.

Another thing is IIRC apt for RPM is not under development anymore. I seem to remember reading that on the Fedora Core list.

SmartPM's resolution logic is working extremely well in my recent testing, and seems more advanced than APT's pinning. Based on the prior Firefox.i386 thread for using i386 plug-ins and libraries, I'm going to come up with a configuration to "pin" select i386 on x86-64.
I'll start with Fedora Core/Extras/Livna.ORG and then more onto CentOS/Plus/Extras/DAG, which should be similar in packages. At least they have been so far (I just had my FC3 box in front me at the time).

I just wanted to try things out. And yes, Stability is not my concern at the moment. Unlike others, Cent OS has been my base to "try" unusual stuff. :D
I will do a lot of reading, and that should go fine. Thanks for helping me so far guys. :)

Well, I was just trying to learn things. I have my hands on YUM now..and I love it. I just wanted to know about apt working on Cent OS, cuz I heard from one of my friend that he was using it on SuSE. So I thought that would be for Cent OS too.
Doesn't matter me anymore. I am happy with Yum.
