The Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM) is a free and open-source command-line package-management utility for computers running the Linux operating system using the RPM Package Manager.[4] Though YUM has a command-line interface, several other tools provide graphical user interfaces to YUM functionality.

YUM allows for automatic updates and package and dependency management on RPM-based distributions.[5] Like the Advanced Package Tool (APT) from Debian, YUM works with software repositories (collections of packages), which can be accessed locally[6] or over a network connection.

Under the hood, YUM depends on RPM, which is a packaging standard for digital distribution of software, which automatically uses hashes and digital signatures to verify the authorship and integrity of said software; unlike some app stores, which serve a similar function, neither YUM nor RPM provide built-in support for proprietary restrictions on copying of packages by end-users. YUM is implemented as libraries in the Python programming language, with a small set of programs that provide a command-line interface.[7] GUI-based wrappers such as YUM Extender (yumex) also exist,[8] and has been adopted for Fedora Linux until version 22.[9]

A rewrite of YUM named DNF replaced YUM as the default package manager in Fedora 22[9] (in 2015). This was required due to Fedora's transition from Python 2 to Python 3, which isn't supported by YUM.[10] DNF also improves on YUM in several ways - improved performance, better resolution of dependency conflicts, and easier integration with other software applications.[11] From RHEL 8, yum is an alias for DNF.[12]
