June 24, 2023 — Gregg Szumowski

Listing installed packages with YUM:

$ sudo yum list installed

To display details about a package:

$ yum info nginx

You can cat all installed packages to a file, copy the file to another machine and duplicate the system:

$ sudo yum list installed > installed-packages.txt
$ sudo yum -y install $(cat installed-packages.txt)

List installed packages with RPM:

$ sudo rpm -qa

List them by installation date:

$ sudo rpm -qa --last

Display information about a package:

$ rpm -qi nginx
