Linux Tutorial: Installing or Upgrading an RPM on Red Hat
Since I look these up all the time I figured it was time to put them all in one place!
Installing an RPM
rpm -ivh package_name_here.rpm
Updating an RPM
rpm -uvh package_name_here.rpm
Check To See if the RPM is Installed
rpm -qa package_name_here.rpm
Check To See if the RPM is Installed (partial name)
rpm -qa | grep part_name
Getting More Help on RPMS and Options
rpm –help
