Fedora 20 - how to install applications?


I just installed Fedora 20 on my laptop.

I've never been the Administrator of a Linux machine and so...I don't know how to install application on it! :D

Could you please help me ?

I tried using some command like :

sudo apt-get ....

But it fails because something is not installed, and I also tried to use the new software center, but there are no applications inside, I can only see some squares with 3 points inside them and that's all.

I just started using Linux, so I'm sorry in advance if I'll make stupid questions!

Thank'you all!


Solution

  • You need to type: sudo yum install "whatever without parenthesis".

    Or, switch to the root account and you won't have to type sudo in front of everything.
