How to download kvm

I messed up my kvm virtualization, I think. I want to reload it. I think I'm supposed to type

yum install aptName

Is that right?

Also, I don't know what to put in for aptName. I can't find the package names on the Fedora site. Where did they hide it? Also, where do I download apts. I searched with Google and find all kinds of sites I don't trust.

Fedora has RPM based package management, so unfortunately you can't use apt. There is apt-rpm but I believe support for it has been discontinued a few releases back. As you mentionned you can use 'yum install' to install additional packages, but if you need to find package names then 'yum list' and 'yum search' should be what you're looking for'.

For KVM, use:

Code:

yum install kvm virt-manager

Thanks Firewing1. That worked.

I still couldn't get software loaded on a virtual machine, but I'll work on that later.
