You shouldn't need to install it; it's installed by default in Fedora.
Try (as root):
# yum update
If that doesn't work, please state what you have downloaded, the version
of Fedora you are using, and what the output of the command "rpm -q yum" is.

Thanks Paul...i was not aware that I had to update from root using yum.
This worked..Thanks again..
