QUESTION:
Hi, I am a newbie to a Red Hat based distro I just installed. I have downloaded a series of .rpm packages and wondering how to install them from the terminal.
ANSWER:
Installing .rpm packages from the terminal is just easy as typing “ls”
Open Terminal and cd into the directory of the .rpm file.
Change to root:
[enock@localhost Packages]$ su Password:
Run the command below with .rpm package name replacing package-name.rpm
# rpm -ivh package-name.rpm
