Package Management
Package managers are essential tools for installing, updating, and removing software on a Linux system. The commands you use depend on your Linux distribution.
Major Package Management Systems
APT and DPKG
Used by Debian-based distributions, such as **Ubuntu**, **Linux Mint**, and **Debian** itself. `apt` is a high-level tool, while `dpkg` is a low-level tool for managing individual `.deb` package files.
DNF and RPM
Used by Red Hat-based distributions, such as **Fedora**, **RHEL**, and **CentOS**. `dnf` is the high-level successor to `yum`, and `rpm` is the low-level tool for managing individual `.rpm` package files.
