One of the several duties of a system administrator is to\u00a0install and manage software on a computer system-Linux<\/a>\u00a0in this case and in order keep\u00a0track of installed\/available software packages<\/a>\u00a0on your system, you can learn, and\/or keep in mind a few quick commands.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will explain how to list all installed rpm packages on CentOS, RHEL and Fedora distributions using four different ways.<\/p>\n

1. Using RPM Package Manager<\/h3>\n

RPM (RPM Package Manager)<\/a>\u00a0formerly known as Red-Hat Package Manager is an open source, low-level package manager, which runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as well as other Linux such as CentOS, Fedora and UNIX systems.<\/p>\n

You can compare it to\u00a0DPKG Package Manager<\/a>, the default packaging system for Debian and it\u2019s derivatives such as Ubuntu, Kali Linux etc.<\/p>\n

The following command will print a list of all installed packages on your Linux system, the flag\u00a0-q<\/code>\u00a0meaning query and\u00a0-a<\/code>\u00a0enables\u00a0listing of all installed packages<\/a>:<\/p>\n

# rpm -qa\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"List<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Using YUM Package Manager<\/h3>\n
YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified)<\/a>\u00a0is an interactive, front-end rpm based, package manager.<\/p>\n
You can use the\u00a0yum command<\/strong>\u00a0below to list all installed packages on your system, one advantage with this method is, it includes the repository from which a package was installed:<\/p>\n
# yum list installed\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Yum<\/a><\/p>\n
Yum \u2013 List All Installed Packages<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
3. Using YUM-Utils<\/h3>\n
Yum-utils<\/a>\u00a0is an assortment of tools and programs for managing yum repositories, installing debug packages, source packages, extended information from repositories and administration.<\/p>\n
To install it, run the command below as root, otherwise, use sudo command:<\/p>\n
# yum update && yum install yum-utils\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once you have it installed, type the\u00a0repoquery<\/strong>\u00a0command below to list all installed packages on your system:<\/p>\n
# repoquery -a --installed \r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Repoquery<\/a><\/p>\n
Repoquery \u2013 List All Installed Packages<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
To list installed packages from a particular repository, use the\u00a0yumdb<\/strong>\u00a0program in the form below:<\/p>\n
# yumdb search from_repo base\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"List<\/a><\/p>\n
