In Ubuntu, the main package manager is APT (Advanced Package Tool), which works with .deb packages. Commands for installing, updating, and removing packages are:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install package_name
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt remove package_name
In CentOS (especially versions 7 and 8), YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) is used, and in newer versions of CentOS 8 and above — DNF (Dandified YUM), which work with .rpm packages.
Example commands:
sudo yum install package_name
sudo yum update
sudo yum remove package_name
or for DNF:
sudo dnf install package_name
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf remove package_name
Thus, Ubuntu is oriented towards APT and DEB packages, while CentOS focuses on YUM/DNF and RPM packages.
