YUM ( Yellowdog Updater, Modified ) is a GNU General Public License command-line package management tool for RPM-based Linux systems. Yum is helpful for RPMs that have dependencies because it scans all available repositories for all dependencies in every RPM.
Top 5 Yum Repositories
The top 5 yum repositories for RHEL based systems (RPMFusin, EPEL, REMI, ELRepo, Webtatic) with installation links, which we need to keep our system up to date with the latest packages, are listed below. The majority of the RPMs available for servers can be found in these repositories.
1. Adding RPMFusin Repository
2. Adding EPEL Repository
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is a community that manages a list of the most recent packages. It also includes additional packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Scientific Linux (SL), and Oracle Linux (OL).

Filesystem drivers, graphics drivers, network drivers, sound drivers, webcam, and video drivers are all examples of this.
