Looks like also ansible-core that is convenient
$ dnf provides ansible-galaxy
ansible-core-2.18.3-1.fc42.noarch : A radically simple IT automation system
Repo : fedora
Matched From :
Filename : /usr/bin/ansible-galaxy

Okay updated to include ansible-core in the dnf/yum commands (do any currently supported rhel variants still use only yum and not dnf?)

AI says:
## Still Using YUM: - **CentOS 7** (until EOL June 2024, but still widely deployed) - **RHEL 7** (extended support until 2028) - **Oracle Linux 7** - **Amazon Linux 2** (still actively supported) - **Scientific Linux 7** - Older versions of Fedora (pre-22) ## Using DNF: - **RHEL 8, 9** (dnf is default, yum is a symlink to dnf) - **CentOS Stream 8, 9** - **Rocky Linux 8, 9** - **AlmaLinux 8, 9** - **Fedora 22+** (dnf since 2015) - **Amazon Linux 2023** (switched to dnf) - **Oracle Linux 8, 9** ## Key Points: - **RHEL/CentOS 8+**: `yum` command still exists but is actually a symbolic link to `dnf` for backward compatibility - **Legacy systems**: Many production environments still run RHEL/CentOS 7 with native yum - **Transition period**: We're in a multi-year transition where both coexist - **Amazon Linux**: AL2 uses yum, AL2023 uses dnf **In practice**: If you're writing scripts for broad compatibility, check for both or use the `yum` command on RHEL 8+ systems (since it's aliased to dnf anyway).
`ansible-galaxy` is required for `rake db:seed` and is provided by the `ansible-core` apt and rpm packages.
