Running the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script on public.dhe.ibm.com.

# chmod +x dnf_aixtoolbox.sh

# ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh
Usage: dnf_aixtoolbox.sh <-d> <-y> <-n> -?

      -d    Install and setup dnf if yum is not installed.
            yum command will not be available only dnf command can be used.
      -y    Installs dnf, and updates yum3 to dnf yum4 if yum3 is installed.
            If no yum3 is installed then dnf and yum4 will be installed.
            yum command will also be available along with dnf.
      -n    Install dnf where both dnf can coexist if yum is installed already.
            This is not a recommended option.

# ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -d
