Installing yum on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to install yum in Ubuntu but have not been able to.

Here is the output that I ran into.

Is it possible to install it to Ubuntu and how would I be able to do it?

Solution

The last still-supported release of Ubuntu to provide yum was 18.04; you won’t find it in later releases.

Since 21.04, the replacement dnf is available:

sudo apt install dnf

In both cases you shouldn’t attempt to use these tools to manage your packages. If you really want to manage packages with yum or dnf, install a distribution which uses them natively (CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, SUSE...).
