up2date
is the easiest way to keep your Fedora system… well, up to date. As root, just run:
# up2date
and follow the prompts. This provides a graphical user interface. You can also run up2date
in command-line mode:
# up2date -l
to list all updated RPM packages (if any) available for your system. To download the given packages, run:
# up2date -d packages
To install the given RPM packages you have already downloaded with up2date -d
, run:
# up2date -i packages
up2date
downloads RPM packages from Red Hat or Fedora-related servers over the Internet, so you might need to register your system with them the first time you run up2date
.
Some Linux users prefer other programs to up2date
, such as yum
(http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/) and apt
(http://ayo.freshrpms.net/).
