Whenever you\u2019re looking for a package\/software to enjoy, there are several ways you can get that into your Linux system. By default, the fastest and easiest method is to just tell the system\u2019s package manager to install that package. Otherwise, you may need to download the source code, build it by yourself and then, install it.<\/p>\n

Hello, CentOS users! In the case of CentOS, the Linux distro is a pretty cool one that gives the complete vibe and feel of the server\/enterprise environment. CentOS and RHEL both uses \u201cyum\u201d as the default package manager.<\/p>\n

In this case, you have 2 available options for searching a certain package\/software \u2013 asking \u201cyum\u201d to search by name or, checking the internet for the exact package name.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. Everything is as pretty simple and quick.<\/p>\n

As \u201cyum\u201d is the default package manager, you can use the following command structure for searching \u2013<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For example, you can search for GNOME using the following command \u2013<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s LONG list of GNOME and apps!!!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s another available GUI tool for searching, listing and installing packages on CentOS \u2013 yumex. The package is available on the EPEL repository. THat\u2019s why make sure that your system has EPEL repository enabled \u2013<\/p>\n

sudo yum install epel-release<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, install \u201cyumex\u201d \u2013<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, fire up \u201cyumex\u201d \u2013<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Searching the internet<\/h2>\n

Now, if you\u2019re out of luck finding out the right package name on your package manager, consider checking out the internet! It\u2019s a faster and more convenient solution for most of us.<\/p>\n

The best place for searching for Linux packages is Pkgs.org<\/a>. It\u2019s a fine place that keeps the record of numerous Linux packages of almost all the popular and non-popular Linux distros you\u2019ll ever enjoy in your machine.<\/p>\n

For example, I found the \u201cyumex\u201d package directly on Pkgs.org<\/a> \u2013<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
