It's been a long time since I have been using Fedora. And now I have the Fedora 23 and it has been a week but I had not quite known about a thing. The thing is related to downloading a package via terminal without the dnf command. Well if you are wondering what 'dnf' is, it is the package managing command for the new Fedora. Fedora tells that it is the deprecated version of 'yum' which was its major package managing command for up to Fedora20.
So today I wanted to execute a command to download files through url. That command was 'axel'.
I just did this:
Hence the package was downloaded and installed without requiring the sudo password which I must would have to if I were going through 'dnf'.
Maybe it is a bug of fedora or it's the same policy that the new Fedora has. But I think as a linux user there must be privacy and at least ask for sudo password for any package to download or install.

$ axelThen the terminal told me that axel was not installed. And so it offered me if I would let it download and install by the terminal itself, no dnf command to execute no nothing. I was waiting if it would ask me for 'sudo' password but it did not.
