YUM Repositories are the warehouses of Linux software (RPM package files). RPM package file is a Red Hat Package Manager file and enables quick and easy software installation on Red Hat/CentOS Linux. They hold a number of RPM package files and enable download and installation of new software on our VPS.

 

1.      Log into your servers CLI.

 

2.    To download any updates from your current repositories run command :

# yum -y update

 

3.    To clear any cached data regarding the installed packages as this can take up a lot of disk space, run command:

# yum clean all

 

Yum downloads the package lists automatically, and the repositories are configured in files under /etc/yum.repos.d. Furthermore, it does not download source RPMs.
