How do I install an RPM package?

To install an RPM package, you can use the rpm command in the terminal. Here’s the basic syntax:

sudo rpm -ivh package-name.rpm

Here's a breakdown of the options:

  • sudo: Runs the command with administrative privileges.
  • -i: Stands for "install."
  • -v: Enables verbose output, showing the installation progress.
  • -h: Displays a hash mark (#) progress bar during installation.

Replace package-name.rpm with the actual name of the RPM file you want to install.

Alternatively, you can use dnf or yum (for older systems) for easier dependency management:

sudo dnf install package-name.rpm

or

sudo yum install package-name.rpm

These commands will handle dependencies automatically.
