Commands

Commands that change the system need sudo. --dry-run previews install, remove, upgrade, reinstall, downgrade, distro-sync and autoremove without root.

Installing and removing

Command	Alias	What it does
`install <pkg>…`	`in`, `pour`	install packages (or local `.rpm` files)
`remove <pkg>…`	`rm`, `erase`	remove packages
`reinstall <pkg>`	`rei`	reinstall a package you installed
`downgrade <pkg>`	`dg`	go back to an older version
`swap <old> <new>`		replace one package with another in one step
`autoremove`		remove dependencies nothing needs any more
`mark install\|dependency <pkg>`		change why a package is installed

Updating

Command	Alias	What it does
`system-upgrade`		everything: your packages, Flatpaks and the system image; reboot afterwards
`upgrade`	`up`, `update`	only the packages you installed
`check-upgrade`	`check-update`	list available updates for your packages (drivers: only builds for the kernel you're running)
`kmod-upgrade`		switch the drivers you installed to the builds for the next system update's kernel (`--dry-run` to preview); the Software Center and `system-upgrade` run it for you
`distro-sync`		match your packages to the repositories' versions
`versionlock add\|delete\|list\|clear`		hold packages at a version

Finding things

Command	Alias	What it does
`search <term>`	`se`	search names and summaries
`info <pkg>`	`if`	details
`list`	`ls`	packages you installed; `--base` for the image's, `--available`, `--upgrades`, `--extras`, `--obsoletes`, `--autoremove` as in dnf. There's no `--installed`: plain `rum list` already is that
`provides <file or capability>`		which package provides it
`repoquery`	`rq`	detailed queries, like dnf's
`leaves`		installed packages nothing else depends on
`origin <pkg>`		Base, Overlay or NotInstalled
`changelog <pkg>`		the package's changelog

Repositories

Command	What it does
`repolist --all`	every repository and whether it's on
`repo list\|info`, `repoinfo`	repository details
`config-manager --set-enabled\|--set-disabled <id>`	turn repositories on or off (wildcards like `'rpmfusion-*'` work)
`config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=<url>`	add a vendor's repository
`copr enable\|disable <owner>/<project>`	COPR repositories

History

Command	What it does
`history list`	past transactions
`history info <id>`	what one transaction did
`history undo\|redo\|rollback <id>`	reverse or repeat transactions

Maintenance

Command	Alias	What it does
`makecache`	`mc`	refresh repository metadata
`clean all\|packages\|metadata`		clear the cache
`check`		check the package database
`restore-base-files <pkg>`		bring back system files an overlay package hid (try `--dry-run` first)
`download <pkg>`		download without installing
