As i run these commands to install any packages with yum or dnf:
> sudo -c 'yum(or dnf) install [package name]'
> sudo yum(or dnf) install [package name]
I get this error:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:34 ago on Thu 05 Jul 2018 12:27:36 AM +0430.
No match for argument: [package name]
Error: Unable to find a match
Any solution?
yum repolist will display the active repo list, I suspect the packages your looking for are not in the base/update/extras repositories and you may need to add additional repositories.
A good way to find out is to google search the package your looking for to get an idea of repository you need to have setup or install.
A lot of repositories do have a RPM file that will install the repository for your or a "how to" for adding the repository.

Have you tried yum search packageName ?
I have seen similar behavior from two other causes, DNS is not working or the cache is corrupted.
On that machine can you ping a host by name? i.e. ping google.com ?
If that works, try a yum clean all and then try to install your package when it is done.
I also encountered this issue and observed the following instructions after installing node:
curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
sudo dnf install yarn
Check installation with
yarn -v
