I can't find the dig
command on my new CentOS installation. I've tried dnf install dig
but it say that it cannot find the package.
How do I install dig on CentOS?

$ dnf install bind-utils
You have already provided the specific answer, but if you are looking for other executables or files to see what package they are installed with, utilize yum whatprovides *relative/path/to/file*
, for example:
$ yum whatprovides '*bin/dig'

From man yum

use a specific name or a file-glob-syntax wildcards to list the pack-
