Yum（全称为 Yellow dog Updater, Modified）是一个在Fedora中的shell前端软件包管理器。基于rpm包管理，能够从指定的服务器自动下载RPM包并且安装，可以自动处理依赖性关系，并且一次安装所有依赖的软体包，无须繁琐地一次次下载、安装。
软体包来源
可供Yum下载的软体包包括fedora 本身的软体包以及源自rpm.livna.org的Fedora Extras，全部是由Linux社区维护的，并且基本是自由软体。所有的包都有一个独立的GPG签名，主要是为了你的系统安全。而对于Fedora core 4.0 的用户，rpm.livna.org 的签名是自动导入并安装的。

图形化前端
Yum的图形化前端主要有yumex和kyum。它们并不是独立于Yum的，而是Yum的图形前端，也就是说在安装和使用Yumex和kyum同时，都是以Yum的安装和配置为基础；所以在用Yumex或kyum 时，必须先安装配置Yum。
一.做好准备工作.
1.安装FTP,一般都是通过FTP来下载软件包.
安装好后启动它.
2.现在进行拷贝文件.
把光盘里的所有文件都拷贝到/var/ftp/pub/下面.实际上只拷贝Server 和VT两个文件过去就行了,还可以不用把全部RPM安装软件包拷贝过去,太多了,一共2.4G左右,如果系统一开始安装分配给var的空间不够就可以这样做.
完成后切换到/var/ftp/pub/目录下
删除*.html
删除Server/repodata/TRANS.TBL
删除VT/repodata/TRANS.TBL
以上是建议删除的,不删除也可以.
二.配置客户端
进去后添加如下内容.注意看清了内容很类似.
配置文件内容简介：
[ ]内的是仓库的名字
name仓库的描述
baseurl 是你的YUM源地址,因为这里配置的是FTP,还可以是HTTP,FILE等
enabled 是否启用这个仓库，1为起用，0为禁用
gpgcheck 是否检查GPG签名（用来验证要安装的包是不是REDHAT官方的）
GPGKEY 的存放地址需要用下面的命令到入这个签名。才能使用这项功能

三.配置服务器
安装createrepo工具，然后用这个工具生成YUM通用数据库.
安装createrepo工具，然后用这个工具生成YUM通用数据库.
可看到一个是安装,两个操作,很类似的.也可以看到是成功的.
这样就OK下
四.下面看下yum的命令和进行测试.
1. yum install <package> 这里是安装下载的软件包,由于本实验没有提供FTP下载.

2.yum localinstall <package> 本地安装软件包,在这里本服务器做YUM源.看个例子.
