yum is a package manager for Red Hat Linux. It will not work on macOS. brew is a package manager for macOS

So instead of trying to install yum to install another piece of software, you might want to try to install this software using brew directly. But beware: the package names might not be the same. Use brew search to search for packages in brew, or maybe, even better, try and find specific instructions for macOS for the software you're trying to install.
