Rum

Rum is RakuOS's own package manager. It's a ground up Rust reimplementation of dnf, built to speak the same repository metadata (yum and dnf style .repo files, comps groups, and update advisories) while resolving and applying transactions with its own dependency solver and its own rpm transaction layer. The command is rum, and if you've used dnf before, most of what you know carries straight over.
