Information about the package, cloudy, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The cloudy package is designed for, Spectral synthesis code to simulate conditions in interstellar.
Package Name:
cloudy
Summary:
Spectral synthesis code to simulate conditions in interstellar
Description:
Most of the quantitative information we have about the cosmos comes from spectroscopy. In many cases the light we analyze was produced by atoms in the first generations of stars and galaxies. The spectra are produced by dilute gas where such properties as the gas kinetic temperature, chemical state, level of ionization, and level populations, are determined by a host of microphysical processes rather than by a single temperature. Analytical solutions are seldom possible and computer solutions are needed to understand their physical properties. Numerical simulations make it possible to understand complex physical environments starting from first principles. Cloudy is designed to do exactly this.

yum info cloudy
This command will show you core information about the cloudy package.
yum deplist cloudy
This command will show you the dependencies for cloudy. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update cloudy
This command will check if there is an update waiting on cloudy. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
