How to list the directory tree?

I use RH Linux. I tried using the tree command to list the directory tree but failed. I was told this command doesn't exist.

You need to install the tree package

try

Code:

yum install tree

On a debian based distro you would simply type:

Code:

sudo apt-get install tree

But for Red-Hat you will use an RPM

Go to: http://rpm.pbone.net and search for the package that you want to install (if it's not on your installation media).

Once you have found the rpm file download it to your machine and install as root from th command line:

Code:

rpm -i tree-whatever.rpm

Edit:- Try repo's suggestion first.

Where should I save the rpm file first? Anywhere I like? Or /root/tmp?

It doesn't matter, I normally save them to /usr/local/src

The important thing is to run the rpm command from that directory.

I entered the key word "free" and it lists a very long list. But I couldn't find any rpm-package tree for RH EL 4 from the link you put here.

Download the rpm
open a terminal
become root
cd to the directory where you saved the rpm
type

Code:

rpm -ivh rpmname.rpm

Once installed, you can delete the downloaded rpm

Or type

Code:

yum install tree

to install from the repo's

The problem is I can't find out the "tree" package from the site "http://rpm.pbone.net".
