Using APT for installation and updates

Debian logoThe default update manager for Redhat-based Linux distributions is YUM, which is wonderful and all, but some people, especially those used to Debian-based distributions (such as Ubuntu), prefer to use APT for their updates. This is only for advanced users and should not be attempted on a server that already has working websites. Should something go wrong, you could break your distribution.

To install APT, follow these simple steps:

Download the corresponding Redhat Enterprise Linux package from this repository. Install it with:

rpm -Uhv package-name-release.rpm

Now to install APT, use YUM:

yum install apt

Now, you should be able to use APT to install and update Redhat, Fedora or CentOS packages. Tomorrow, you will learn how to use APT and some common tricks.
