Shortcut command to install kde or gnome on Fedora?


To install kde:
Code:
yum groupinstall 'KDE(K Desktop Environment)'
To groupinstall
Code:
yum install "GNOME Desktop Environment"
Are those correct?
Any other command to install gnome/kde on Fedora?

Code:
yum -y install software package
. This will prevent you from having to answer prompts. You shouldn't need to use a group install.

So what will be the command to install gnome or kde with "yum -y install" ?

The word software package in the code example is a general term.
Replace that with gnome or kde.

Are you talking about this?
Code:
yum -y install gnome
or
Code:
yum -y install kde
