Dear Tripat,
RPM is the Red Hat package manager. It is the way software packages are made
available to the linux community who use the red hat distribution of linux.
The way you can install a package is
rpm -ivh packagename.rpm
-i = Install
-v = Verbose
-h = Show hash(#) for progress
Some other useful options are
-U = Upgrade software if older version is on the system
-e = erase software from the machine
-q = Query software information
-qc = List all configuration files associated to a software.
A better option would be to use the "gnorpm" utility from the gui which
makes handling software very very easy.
regards,
Vikas.
