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 -
[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_64In 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.
[root@38841a887c28 ~]# dnf localinstall wget-1.21.4-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm
