DNF

Why swap YUM for DNF? DNF (Dandified YUM) is the sleek, modern replacement for YUM on RPM-based Linux like Fedora, bringing faster performance, smarter dependency handling, and a cleaner vibe. RHEL/CentOS 7 sticks with old-school YUM, but you can bolt on DNF for that next-gen edge. This guide gets you from YUM to DNF on your AlexHost VPS in a snap—let’s rev up!

Missing DNF

If DNF not installed, such as on RHEL 7:

# Update:
sudo yum update -y

# Enable EPEL:
sudo yum install epel-release -y

# Install DNF:
sudo yum install dnf -y

# should also just install the core plugins too:
sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
