yum: Remove a package.
$ yum remove ${package}
try on your machine

The command "yum remove ${package}" is used in Linux systems using the "yum" package manager to remove a specific package.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "yum": This is the package manager command. It stands for "Yellowdog Updater Modified" and is commonly used in Linux distributions such as CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora.

  • "remove": This is the action parameter used with the "yum" command to specify that you want to remove a package.

  • "${package}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace "${package}" with the name of the package you wish to uninstall. For example, if you want to remove the package "httpd", you would replace "${package}" with "httpd".

Combining all these elements, the command "yum remove ${package}" will remove the specified package from your Linux system using the "yum" package manager.
