HI will you please tell me which version of linux you are using?

[Amon]

my linux version is RED HAT

Red Hat: yum

yum does for RPM packages roughly what apt-get does for Debian packages. Like apt-get, yum can download and install packages from a configured repository.
[root]# yum install packagename

To remove software is just as easy.
[root]# yum remove packagename

yum does not keep a local copy of your package database by default, so normally there is no need to update it. To install all available security patches and bug fixes, use this command:
[root]# yum update

You can also explicitly update a single package with:
[root]# yum update packagename
