Installing RPMs
You need to know how to install software packages on Red Hat and Red Hat-type systems.
Use RPM, the Package Manager. Red Hat installation command syntax looks like this:
# rpm -i packagename
For example, the following command installs the drawing program Tuxpaint. -v adds verbose feedback, and -h draws progress hashmarks:
# rpm -ivh tuxpaint-9.13-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...########################### [100%]
1. tuxpaint ######################## [100%]
To test the installation first, without installing anything, use:
# rpm -ivh —test tuxpaint-9.13-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...########################### [100%]
