    Hello and welcome aboard!

    Red Hat and its forked variations usually use YUM for installing packages, while APT generally goes on Debian based machines.

    As already stated: RedHat uses yum as a package manager.
    Basic commands are
    Code:
    yum search <SEARCHTERM>
yum install <PACKAGENAME>
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
