Hi, I am new to linux but have a high interest on it. I am using Suse pro. Does anyone know what is rpm? is it rpm something like installer for linux?
i have rpm file, a software that i downloaded from the net, how can i install it? Please help, thanks. go go linux
RPM (rpm package manager/redhat package manager) is a package management system originally used by Redhat but now adopted by quite a few linux distros out there. The packages used on rpm based distros end with the .rpm extension and the source packages with .src.rpm. To find out more, go to rpm.org.
Redhat Package Manager. It's the way the programs are packaged and installed in some Linux distribution (Redhat, Suse, Mandriva...). Ususally, you install them in Suse via the program called Yast.
I don't know how to install from terminal, but to install from YaST, just click the RPM file and inside it click "Install Package with YaST". Type in your Root password and just let it install
