Using RPM To Install Packages



RPM

What is Package ?
In the generic sense, an RPM package is a container of files. It includes the group of files associated with a specific program or application, which normally includes binary installation scripts, as well as configuration and documentation files. It also includes instructions on how and where these files should be installed and uninstalled.

What is RPM?
RPM is a powerful software manager. It can install, remove, query, and verify the software on your system.Rpm is more than a Red Hat specific tool. The RPM Package Manager greatly simplifies the distribution, installation, upgradation. And removal of software on RHEL systems.Software to be installed using rpm is distributed through rpm package files, which are essentially compressed archives of files and associated dependency  information. Package files are named using the following format:





RPM Options:-
1.  –i  =  to install the package
2.  –v =  verbose
3.  –h =  to display the progress in hashes
4.  --force =  to install packeges forcefully
5.  --aid            =  to install packages along with dependencies
6.  –U = to upgrade the existing package
7.  –e =  to uninstall the packages from the system
8. –nodeps =  to uninstall packages even if dependencies are there
9. –q =  to queries any installed packages
10. –qa = to queries all install packages
11. –qi =  To show general information
12. –ql =  To show list of package files installed
13. –qip =  To show general information of uninstalled package
14. –qlp =  To show list of packages of uninstalled package

Summary            : Dynamic host configuration protocol software
Description         :
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
easier to administer a large network.  The dhcp package includes the
ISC DHCP service and relay agent.

To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent),
and on clients run a DHCP client daemon.  The dhcp package provides
the ISC DHCP service and relay agent.
