How to using rpm to install software with its dependency?
 

As the title,
I am going to install a python bitTorrent software,
I have checked by python version is 2.4.2,
but it shows I missed something for the bittorrent software,
is rpm can automatically install all the dependencies?

Thanks.

It would help if you could let us know which distribution: suse, fedora, ...?

You didn't tell us what distribution of Linux you are using (there are many that use rpm). If it's Fedora Core, for example, then you should rather use
to install a program (package) called packagename. That solves dependencies for you, downloads and installs them (given that the asked package is in the Fedora reposities); rpm itself does calculate dependencies and report you if some are missing, but it doesn't search nor download nor automatically install them for you.

Every modern distribution usually has a package manager (like yum in the above example) that can search for, download and install asked packages and their dependencies with one command. In most cases there exists even a graphical front-end for the package manager, so the user does not necessarily need to use any console commands if s/he doesn't want to. On Fedora the package tool can be found in the menus, I just don't remember it's name (but I assume it's easily found). On Ubuntu, for example, the package manager is apt (apt-get is the command to use) and the graphical front-end is called Synaptic or Adept (latter on KDE). I assume Mandriva and others have this kind of tool as well; SuSE probably uses it's YaST to do the job.

So: find out what tool your system uses to manage packages and either use the textual interface (command) or locate a graphical front-end, usually found in the system menu, or if you don't know how to find it (using Google for example: Fedora package manager), post here which distribution you are using and more precise examples can be given.

When rpm says "failed because of missing dependencies", and lists the missing dependencies, you have to install those "missing dependencies" first, then install your BitTorrent client/package.

BUT:

As jay73 suggests, if you had mentioned the distribution you have, a person could recommend the best avenue to take in installing BitTorrent. Most mainstream distributions have a "smart" package management system that takes care of dependencies, making it simple to install the application you want. Going strictly with the predecessor "rpm" involves a little "know-how".

Alternastively just click on the RPM file from a file manager, and that will (in most distributions) invoke whatever package manager that system uses to install that package and its dependencies.

If that invokes a package manager but it doesn't find the dependencies then you may have to configure the package manager to link to a repository. That depends on your distribution. The easiest way would be to make a note of the name of the program that appears when you click on the RPM file, then search online for "ProgramName repositories"

Thank you all first.
It is FC5, but without GUI, I can just using the command mode to do so.
It is because I am using SSH to remote the computer at all.

...then use the command that b0uncer recommended... =)
