The basic method for installing a binary or source package with rpm is:
root@localhost # rpm -i [install-options] <package_file>If this is an upgrade of an already installed package, you can choose the upgrade method, to remove the old package, while installing the new like this:
root@localhost # rpm -U [install-options] <package_file>You may also specify the <package_file> as an ftp style URL, which will cause the package to be downloaded and then installed.
This will install the named package, but will give no feedback to the person (root) installing the package. To get more information you can use the the following options.
