If your Red Hat Linux PC doesn't include all the software you want, you can install additional software from the internet (whether you have broadband or dial-up) or removable media. This can be accomplished graphically or using the command line.
Steps
-
In Linux, software is often bundled in packages. Packages make it easy to install software without having to compile the source code from scratch. You can install packages using a package manager, which is a tool that downloads the packages from repositories (repos) and installs them in a few easy steps.
- Package managers automatically resolve dependencies on other software libraries.
