原标题：如何在 Linux 中列出可用的软件包组

我们知道，如果想要在 Linux 中安装软件包，可以使用软件包管理器来进行安装。由于系统管理员需要频繁用到软件包管理器，所以它是 Linux 当中的一个重要工具。

但是如果想一次性安装一个软件包组，在 Linux 中有可能吗？又如何通过命令去实现呢？

在 Linux 中确实可以用软件包管理器来达到这样的目的。很多软件包管理器都有这样的选项来实现这个功能，但就我所知，apt 或 apt-get 软件包管理器却并没有这个选项。因此对基于 Debian 的系统，需要使用的命令是 tasksel，而不是 apt 或 apt-get 这样的官方软件包管理器。

在 Linux 中安装软件包组有很多好处。对于 LAMP 来说，安装过程会包含多个软件包，但如果安装软件包组命令来安装，只安装一个包就可以了。

当你的团队需要安装 LAMP，但不知道其中具体包含哪些软件包，这个时候软件包组就派上用场了。软件包组是 Linux 系统上一个很方便的工具，它能让你轻松地完成一组软件包的安装。

软件包组是一组用于公共功能的软件包，包括系统工具、声音和视频。 安装软件包组的过程中，会获取到一系列的依赖包，从而大大节省了时间。

RHEL 和 CentOS 系统使用的是 RPM 软件包，因此可以使用 yum 软件包管理器来获取相关的软件包信息。

yum 是 “Yellowdog Updater, Modified” 的缩写，它是一个用于基于 RPM 系统(例如 RHEL 和 CentOS)的，开源的命令行软件包管理工具。它是从发行版仓库或其它第三方库中获取、安装、删除、查询和管理 RPM 包的主要工具。

Fedora 系统使用的是 DNF 软件包管理器，因此可以通过 DNF 软件包管理器来获取相关的信息。

DNF 的含义是 “Dandified yum”。DNF 软件包管理器是 YUM 软件包管理器的一个分支，它使用 hawkey/libsolv 库作为后端。从 Fedora 18 开始，Aleš Kozumplík 开始着手 DNF 的开发，直到在 Fedora 22 开始加入到系统中。

dnf 命令可以在 Fedora 22 及更高版本上安装、更新、搜索和删除软件包， 它可以自动解决软件包的依赖关系并其顺利安装，不会产生问题。

YUM 被 DNF 取代是由于 YUM 中存在一些长期未被解决的问题。为什么 Aleš Kozumplík 没有对 yum 的这些问题作出修补呢，他认为补丁解决存在技术上的难题，而 YUM 团队也不会马上接受这些更改，还有一些重要的问题。而且 YUM 的代码量有 5.6 万行，而 DNF 只有 2.9 万行。因此已经不需要沿着 YUM 的方向继续开发了，重新开一个分支才是更好的选择。

zile如何在 openSUSE 系统上列出可用的软件包组

openSUSE 系统使用的是 zypper 软件包管理器，因此可以通过 zypper 软件包管理器来获取相关的信息。

Zypper 是 suse 和 openSUSE 发行版的命令行包管理器。它可以用于安装、更新、搜索和删除软件包，还有管理存储库，执行各种查询等功能。 Zypper 命令行界面用到了 ZYpp 系统管理库(libzypp)。

由于 APT 或 APT-GET 软件包管理器没有为基于 Debian/Ubuntu 的系统提供这样的选项，因此需要使用 tasksel 命令来获取相关信息。

tasksel 是 Debian/Ubuntu 系统上一个很方便的工具，只需要很少的操作就可以用它来安装好一组软件包。可以在 /usr/share/tasksel 目录下的 .desc 文件中安排软件包的安装任务。

默认情况下，tasksel 工具是作为 Debian 系统的一部分安装的，但桌面版 Ubuntu 则没有自带 tasksel，这个功能类似软件包管理器中的元包(meta-packages)。

tasksel 工具带有一个基于 zenity 的简单用户界面，例如命令行中的弹出图形对话框。
