Is there a way to force install package on command line without having access to key?

when I do rpm -i package, I get:

Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID

How can I install it in shell, without the gpg key. Like you do it in the Gnome GUI by clicking INSTALL ANYWAY.

Try rpm --force package.rpm

However you'd better find and install the gpg key.

[root@localhost apps]# rpm -q mysql
package mysql is not installed

I tried it. I don't think that installed it. When I issue rpm -q mysql, I don't get anything.

You should go through this document, it drops some clues.

Which distro are you using? And why don't you try to install the package you need through its package manager? yum, yast etc. Apart from this there should be a gpg key where you downloaded this rpm from.

Commands used to import the key are in here.
