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!

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.

You can use yum install application to install softwares on Fedora also refer http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Software-in-Fedora for your reference

On Fedora 22, it seems the app for managing software is no longer yum, but dnf. So, first update by running dnf updateinfo and then run gnome-software which is a GUI, or dnf search <something>.
dnf search java
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk

I want to install dbeaver on virtual machine that using linux (maybe) following this step https://computingforgeeks.com/install-and-configure-dbeaver-on-ubuntu-debian/
i try to execute this code
wget -O - https://dbeaver.io/debs/dbeaver.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dbeaver.io/debs/dbeaver-ce /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dbeaver.list
but there is error occured that the apt-get command not found because the apt not installed.
I want to use another alternative code by using yum because my computer has installed it. But i dont know how to replace the code above?
so, anyone have any idea to install this software alternatively?
By the way i have installed postgreSQL server to use in dbeaver following this step https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-postgresql-13-on-centos-7/ and it worked
thank in advance
You can try following this guide: Install and Configure dBeaver on Fedora CentOS, in particular this line is how they installed dbeaver and the gpg keys appeared to have been checked as a part of the installation process:
sudo rpm -Uvh ./dbeaver-ce-latest-stable.x86_64.rpm
Since it looks like with yum you don't need to manually add the key to your keychain like the debian instructions had you doing, the keys appear to be managed more automatically through RPM.
Here is a description of how yum and rpm are related in particular:
[Yum] mainly functions on RPM-based Linux systems and is dependent on RPM for performing its function but is also used for the management, installation and up-gradation of the packages in RPM-based Linux systems.
This also explains why people were commenting that it appears your VM is rpm based vs ubuntu/debian based.

I had sve version 1.7 installed on CentOS and now I installed svn 1.11 using following command -
sudo yum localinstall CollabNetSubversion-client-1.11.1-1.x86_64.rpm
but after hitting svn --version, it still showing 1.7 version. Please guide me to what else I need to do to use latest version 1.11 of svn.
This might be trivial question but I haven't worked on linux environment more. Please help.
You can exec command
rpm -ql CollabNetSubversion-client-1.11.1-1.x86_64
and from the list get the location of new svn. Then you can add the directory where this is installed on the first place in PATH:
export PATH=/here/is/the/location:$PATH
(and add this to ~/.bashrc also)

I got a warning message that my boot partition (/) is nearly full. I am running Ubuntu.
Should I clear it or try to extend it ?
To extend, my problem is that the next partition, which is the /home is already used.
To clear it, I remove unused kernel, by listing them
sudo dpkg --list 'linux-image*' and then removing sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-45-server.
I also cleared apt-cache apt-get clean.
Is there other solutions or cleaning to do to win space on the boot partition ?
Thanks for advices
Try
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
I think this problem was not caused by unused kernels but just try it and if it doesn't help, you could re-install your OS.

How to install jot command on the Win10 because I use Git Bash to run a xxx.sh and show a exception as following:
jot: command not found
How can I solve this?
jot (seen here) is a BSD command.
So unless you can get it sources (usr.bin/jot/jot.c) and somehow recompile it for mingw, I don't see it available either on Linux or as an exe on Windows.
Update Nov. 2020: DimP adds in the comments:
For anyone looking for an answer on Debian etc. environments, Ubuntu has Athena-jot:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install athena-jot

I have been looking into OpenGL development recently and after watching a tutorial, noticed I was unable to compile my code. References that seem to be two features added specifically in SDL 2.0 are undefined according to Eclipse. I tried searching for a way to install SDL 2.0 on Debian (more specifically I am using #! but it is close enough to Debian that a fix on Debian will work).
The way I keep finding is to type into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
This package is not found by aptitude. Can anyone tell me how to install SDL 2.0 on Debian?
Ok. Thank you to genpfault for telling me that libsdl2-dev was on backports! I would have never figured it out, especially because I have never used backports before!
For those of you stuck on this problem go to the following link if you do not know how to use backports:
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
Once you have setup backports, open up your terminal and run the following if you are using wheezy:
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install "package"
For other versions of Debian, I think you just need to put the name of your operating system version in the above code where I put "wheezy".
Remember in your IDE or in your terminal to compile with SDL2 instead of SDL. Best of luck!
