Linux System Administration
Software Management with RPM
The RPM command can be used to install any packages that are in RPM format.
Usually, an RPM installs a binary file.
The rpm command comes with several options:
install : -i
upgrade : -U
freshen : -F
query : -q
verify : -V
signature check : --checksig
uninstall / erase : -e
rebuild database : --rebuilddb
fix permissions : --setperms
set owners/groups : --setugids
show RC : --showrc
Note that you must be logged in as root in order to add or remove packages.
We shall review some of these, and leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.
