What is DNF rhel8?
DNF or Dandified YUM is the next-generation version of the Yellowdog Updater Modified (yum), a package manager for rpm-based distributions in CentOS/RHEL 8. If there are any missing dependencies for the httpd package, DNF will install these automatically rather than prompting the user to approve their install.
