Where can I find the tomcat6 by myself? How would I know there was an option named tomcat6-webapps? I want this kind of control so I can be able to find the packages like java-1.8.0 and not java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 and be able to understand what's inside java-1.8.0 compared to java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64.Īlso, I don't want to depend on google every time I want to install something, so I can find some tutorial showing me the package name and options, like: sudo yum install tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps


So how can I see what a package name will actually install? Or how can I search for package names instead? So I guess there is a package named java-1.8.0 somewhere and the contents of this package might include some of these plugins returned by the YUM search. The thread said to just type sudo yum install java-1.8.0 but There is no pure java-1.8.0 option on the list. Java-1.8.0-openjdk-src.x86_64 : OpenJDK Source Bundle Java-1.8.0-openjdk-javadoc-zip.noarch : OpenJDK API Documentation compressed in Java-1.8.0-openjdk-javadoc.noarch : OpenJDK API Documentation Java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 : OpenJDK Runtime Environment Java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 : OpenJDK Development Environment Java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 : OpenJDK Runtime Environment When I do a sudo yum search all java-1.8.0 I get this list as an output: Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper I just created an Amazon Linux AMI machine and I saw it comes with Java 7 (1.7.0_131) but I want Java 8, so I found this thread here showing how to update your java version.and it got me very confused on how yum works. I am new to unix systems, so forgive me if I am not being clear or saying something that makes no sense.
