Ask HN: How do you keep track of CLI programs you install on linux

1 pointsby xlaacidover 6 years ago
I was reading a post about a CLI program for listening to the radio in the terminal. So I installed it, then realized I had already installed a similar program. Any advice on keeping track of CLI programs installed on Fedora, or any linux?
