bind-utils is Utilities for querying DNS name servers
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install bind-utils on CentOS 8.
What is bind-utils
Bind-utils contains a collection of utilities for querying DNS (Domain Name System) name servers to find out information about Internet hosts. These tools will provide you with the IP addresses for given host names, as well as other information about registered domains and network addresses. You should install bind-utils if you need to get information from DNS name servers.
We can use yum or dnf to install bind-utils on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install bind-utils.
Install bind-utils on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install bind-utils using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install bind-utils
Install bind-utils on CentOS 8 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install bind-utils using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install bind-utils
How To Uninstall bind-utils on CentOS 8
To uninstall only the bind-utils package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove bind-utils
