# Install RPM Packages in Fedora

In Fedora we can install the RPM package either by using `rpm` or `dnf` command, example is given below!

## Using rpm command

Using rpm command we can install the RPM package such as -

```code
[root@38841a887c28 ~]# rpm -i wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	libgpgme.so.11()(64bit) is needed by wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64
	libgpgme.so.11(GPGME_1.0)(64bit) is needed by wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64
	libgpgme.so.11(GPGME_1.1)(64bit) is needed by wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64
	libmetalink.so.3()(64bit) is needed by wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64
```

In above example, the command errors out because the dependencies are not installed.

To make sure dependencies are installed, we can either use `rpm -qpR` to query the dependencies or use `dnf` command to install the RPM package with dependencies.

## Using dnf command

To install using `dnf` command, we can use the syntax `dnf localinstall` followed by the RPM package file, `dnf` command will suggest dependencies as well.

```code
[root@38841a887c28 ~]# dnf localinstall wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm
