Why I want to replace yum with apt command? The reason has:
- The some software is packed for Debian system and it is good utility for me.
- I am a new beginner about Linux system. It is a little difficult for me to compile the package.
- If apt command is used directly, it also will install the related dependence library or software.
- When remove software,we don't worry whether exist garbage library or software on system.
If it exist so much benefit,how to install it on CentOS?
