Although most of the time, we install RPM packages using command via the official or unofficial repository in Linux. However, it is not the only way, just like Windows on Linux too, we can directly download and install software packages using Redhat supported open-source tool called RPM Package Manager.
Today, here we will see how to use the RPM command to install RPM packages of CentOS or RHEL. Plus also we use YUM and DNF to install RPM packages. As CentOS 8 and RHEL 8 now support dnf too.

Convert DEB Packages Into Arch Linux Packages Using Debtap. To convert any DEB package, say Quadrapassel, to Arch Linux package using debtap, do: $ debtap quadrapassel3.22.0-1.1arm64.deb. The above command will convert the given.deb file into a Arch Linux package. You will be asked to enter the name of the package maintainer and license.
First, log in as root or a user with sudo rights on your Linux server. You can use the command: su
Now, download the software package you want to install. For example, here we are downloading the RPM package of PHP software from its official website. Let’s say the name of it is php-5.4.16-46.el7.x86_64.rpm

RPM Command to install packages
Compile and install the program. Find the package in the AUR. On Arch Linux website, you need to go to the AUR section. And search for the package you are about to install. For example, I will search for Spotify. Spotify is not in the official repository of Arch Linux because it is proprietary software. The metadata stored in a rpm package, among other things, specifies what other packages should be installed for the software to work, and, eventually, what packages could conflict with it. Dnf, or takes care of performing all the needed operations, after receiving user confirmation. Mar 03, 2019.
After downloading the RPM package, first, we show the RPM command to install it on CentOS or Redhat 8/7/6.
The command is:
rpm -i packagename.rpm
How to use it:
For rpm force install just use the -f flag
So, in this way, we can simply use RPM command to install any rpm packages, however, it not resolve the dependencies of any packages require and gives error most of the time. If you have some packages that need some extra packages while installing it, use the YUM command shown in this article.
The output for the above command:
RPM uninstall command
If you want to use the same RPM command to uninstall or remove some installed package or software then it will be like this:
Structure of the command:
rpm -e package_name
Example to use it:
The difference is the flag used with the RPM command i.e -e for uninstalling whilst if you use -i, the same command will use to install.

For information to see what are the packages currently installed on your system you can use this command:
Furthermore, to see the total number of packages installed on your system in figures we can use a command:
Yum command to install rpm with dependencies
Yes, we can use YUM to install RPM packages, the benefit of this command as told above, it has the capability to download & install the dependencies a software needs while installing it on CentOS 8/7/6 or RHEL 8/7/6 based Linux systems…
The command structure is:
yum install package-name
Example: How to use it
The output of above command:
Yum package uninstall command
If you want to use the Yum to remove any installed package then instead of using install use remove in the command. In this way:

yum remove package-name
example:
Yum command to list all installed RPM packges
If you are comfortable with YUM, you can also use it to see the list of a total number of RPM packages installed on your system, currently.
Moreover, to see the total count of the installed software or packages use:
Use DNF to install RPM packages
Just like a yum package manager, dnf can be used to install RPM software along with the dependencies that particular package requires. It works the same as Yum even the syntax will also be the same, the only difference will be the command starts with dnf instead of yum.
Command structure:
dnf install rpm-package-name
Example: How to use it
DNF uninstall command
Just like the YUM, to remove packages with DNF we also use remove instead of install in the syntax.
dnf remove package-name Bulk sms sender 2.8 crack.

Bonus Tip:
Yumdownloader
Do you know? We can directly download the RPM package of any software from the official or unofficial repository available on the Linux system using yum downloader command.
Just type the package name you want to download, for example, we want to download the PHP package available in the official repo of CentOS 7, thus the command will be like this:
