DNF (abbreviation for Dandified YUM)[7][8][9] is a package manager for Red Hat-based Linux distributions and derivatives. DNF was introduced in Fedora 18 in 2013 as a replacement for yum;[10] it has been the default package manager since Fedora 22 in 2015[11] and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 [when?][12] and is also an alternative package manager for Mageia. DNF performs package management tasks on top of RPM, and supporting libraries.
