Install rpm package

Hi everyone, welcome to today’s tutorial where we will learn how to install a rpm package in linux using the command line.

1. type at command line:
rpm -ivh bc-1.i386.rpm

note:
the -i option is used to install the rpm package
if the package is already installed, then an error message is displayed

the -h option is used to print hash marks during installation to indicate progress of installation, and its used with -v option for a nice looking display
the -v option tells rpm to be verbose (to print lots of messages indicating its actions) about its actions
assume bc-1.i386.rpm is the rpm package to install
