rpm dependencies

Hello,

My question is, when we see an rpm on a site, in this case it's rustc, a component used for suricata intrusion detection, are dependencies needed for the install of rustc (there are about 15 listed) OR in building rustc, are the dependencies present in the rpm ?

Do we need to have the 15 dependency rpms present on the server to get rustc to install as an rpm ?

no, usually that kind of dependencies are not packed into the rpm. When you install an rpm you can automatically install its dependencies - if available. It depends on the configuration and the tool you use (to install).
