Problem with installing programs
 

Hi everybody. I've been running Red Hat Linux 9.0 for about 5 days now and i'm still trying to get the hang of it. I'm getting better with terminal commands but I'm having trouble installing some programs, namely Bittorrent. I downloaded bittorrent-3.3-3mdk.noarch.rpm and i don't know how to install it. If i double-click on it, a progress bar quickly zips across the screen, i don't know where it installs to. How can i install the program via terminal commands and where does it install to. I don't know the commands to run programs yet :) . Any help is much appreciated, hope everybody had a nice New Years :D.

to install a rpm:
check out rpm man page for more info

lists files installed by the rpm package

First - if your running Redhat 9 don't use mandrake rpms, because that will cause some trouble. I would download the RPM from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...oarch.rpm.html

Once you download the rpm, to install it type 'rpm -ivh rpmname.rpm' - as for where it installs to, generally its /usr/bin, but you can always find out by running a command like whereis or locate (if you run locate, run the command updatedb first also)

Awesome, thanks for the help guys :D.
