Fedora 20 - how to install applications?

I just installed Fedora 20 on my laptop.

I've never been the Administrator of a Linux machine and so...I don't know how to install application on it! :D

Could you please help me ?

I tried using some command like :

sudo apt-get ....

But it fails because something is not installed, and I also tried to use the new software center, but there are no applications inside, I can only see some squares with 3 points inside them and that's all.

I just started using Linux, so I'm sorry in advance if I'll make stupid questions!

Thank'you all!

On Fedora 22, it seems the app for managing software is no longer yum, but dnf. So, first update by running dnf updateinfo and then run gnome-software which is a GUI, or dnf search <something>.

dnf search java
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk

You need to type: sudo yum install "whatever without parenthesis".

Or, switch to the root account and you won't have to type sudo in front of everything.
