How to Installing/Unistalling Programmes in Linux (RH9)??
How can I install/uninstall programmes easily in Linux (redhat9), I mean one like add/remove of windows. How can I check, how many programmes I have installed and where?
|
The easiest way to install a program in rh9 is to use rpm packages
- INSTALL - rpm -i <packagename>.rpm rom -Uvh <packagename>.rpm (UPGRADE) - UNINSTALL - rpm -e <packagename> it's possible to see which package you have installed by doing rpm -qa and if you pipe it into a grep you can query a single package ex. rpm -qa | grep samba but you should find a rpm manager somewhere in your menu under gnome or kde just do rmp --help for more info you should be root to execute a package installation or removal.. just do 'su' in a terminal and type your root passord |
Great!!! But still it doesnot help much to newb linux user....some thing classified, grouped, garphical pakage like windows Add/remove programs then let me know plz.

Red Hat wants you to use 'Add/Remove Applications'
The official way to install an application (RPM) is to use the Add/Remove Applications program that Red Hat supplies.
This application is located, in Gnome, in the applications menu at 'applications' -> 'System Settings' -> 'Add/Remove Applications'. If the application you are trying to install/uninstall is not a Red Hat provided RPM then you are going to have to do it manually and that is going to differ from case to case. Good Luck... |
