I tried the following with root user but unable to install yum on my cloud server.
I already read a similar issue here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/673762/installing-yum-on-ubuntu
root@localhost:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
tried the following in vain to install yum.
1.
root@localhost:~# up2date
up2date: command not found
2.
apt-get update
apt-get install yum*
3.
apt-get install rpm -y
apt-get install yum*
4.
apt update -y
apt install -y yum-utils
Here is the error:
root@localhost:~# yum
Command 'yum' not found, did you mean:
command 'uum' from deb freewnn-jserver (1.1.1~a021+cvs20130302-7build1)
command 'zum' from deb perforate (1.2-5.1)
command 'num' from deb quickcal (2.4-1)
command 'sum' from deb coreutils (8.30-3ubuntu2)
Try: apt install
Error:
root@localhost:~# apt-get install yum -y

I cant even get
dnf
installed nor do I know how to. I have a standard script that uses yum so getting yum to work would be great.
root@localhost:~# apt-get install dnf
