The rpm command manual and the operation method of viewing the installation path of the rpm installation package. In view of this problem, this article introduces in detail the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

Rpm-qpl xxxxxx.rpm

1. How to install the rpm package

The installation of the rmp package can be done using the program rpm. Execute the following command

Rpm-I your-package.rpm

Where your-package.rpm is the file name of the rpm package you want to install, which is usually placed in the current directory.

The following warnings or prompts may appear during installation:

... Conflict with... It may be that some files in the package to be installed may overwrite the existing ones.

Files that cannot be installed correctly by default can be used

Rpm-- force-I can be installed forcefully

... Is needed by...

... Is not installed... Some of the software required by this package is available if you don't have it installed.

Rpm-- nodeps-I to ignore this information

In other words, rpm-I-- force-- nodeps can ignore all dependencies and file problems, what package

Can be installed, but this forced installation of the software package is not guaranteed to fully function

two。 How to install the .src.rpm package

Some packages, which end with .src.rpm, are rpm packages that contain source code and are installed at the time of installation

Needs to be compiled. There are two ways to install this kind of software package

Method 1:

1. Execute rpm-I your-package.src.rpm

2. Cd / usr/src/redhat/SPECS

3. Rpmbuild-bp your-package.specs an specs file with the same name as your software package

4. Cd / usr/src/redhat/BUILD/your-package/ a directory with the same name as your software package

5. / configure this step is the same as compiling ordinary source software, you can add parameters

6. Make

7. Make install

Method 2:

1. Execute rpm-I you-package.src.rpm

2. Cd / usr/src/redhat/SPECS

The first two steps are the same as method one.

3. Rpmbuild-bb your-package.specs an specs file with the same name as your software package

At this point, in / usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386/ (depending on the package, it could be i686, no arch, etc.)

In this directory, there is a new rpm package, and this is the compiled binary.

Execute rpm-I new-package.rpm to complete the installation.

3. How to uninstall the rpm package

Use the command rpm-e package name, which can contain information such as the version number, but cannot have the suffix. rpm

For example, to uninstall the package proftpd-1.2.8-1, you can use the following format:

Rpm-e proftpd-1.2.8-1

Rpm-e proftpd-1.2.8

Rpm-e proftpd-

Rpm-e proftpd

Cannot be in the following format:

Rpm-e proftpd-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm

Rpm-e proftpd-1.2.8-1.i386

Rpm-e proftpd-1.2

Rpm-e proftpd-1

Sometimes there are errors or warnings:

... Is needed by... This shows that this software is needed by other software and cannot be uninstalled casually.

You can use rpm-e-- nodeps to force uninstall

4. How to get the files in the rpm package without installing

Use the tools rpm2cpio and cpio

Rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio-vi

Rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio-idmv

Rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio-- extract-- make-directories

The parameter I is the same as extract, which indicates that the file is extracted. V indicates the execution process

D is the same as make-directory, which means that the directory is established according to the original path of the files in the package.

M indicates the time to keep the file updated.

5. How to view files and other information related to rpm packages

All of the following examples assume the use of the package mysql-3.23.54a-11

1. Those rpm packages are installed on my system

Rpm-qa will list all installed packages

If you want to find all installed packages that contain a string sql

Rpm-qa | grep sql

two。 How to get the full file name of a software package

Rpm-Q mysql can get the full name of the mysql software package installed in the system, from which you can get

Information such as the version of the current package. In this example, you can get the information mysql-3.23.54a-11.

3. Where are the files in a rpm package installed?

Rpm-ql package name

Note that here is the name of the package that does not include the .rpm suffix.

That means you can only use mysql or mysql-3.23.54a-11 instead of mysql-3.23.54a-11.rpm.

If you just want to know where the executable program is, you can also use which, such as

Which mysql

4. A rpm package contains those files

An uninstalled software package, using rpm-qlp *. Rpm

A software package that has already been installed can also be used with rpm-ql *. Rpm

5. How to get information about the version, purpose and so on of a software package?

An uninstalled software package, using rpm-qip *. Rpm

A software package that has already been installed can also be used with rpm-qi *. Rpm

6. Which package is installed for a program, or which package contains the program

Rpm-qf `which program name` returns the full name of the software package

Rpm-qif `which program name` returns information about the software package

Rpm-qlf `which program name` returns the file list of the package

Notice that this is not the quotation mark, but `, the key in the upper left corner of the keyboard.

You can also use rpm-qilf to output package information and file list

7. Which package installed a file, or which package contains this file

Note that the method in the previous question only applies to executable programs, while the following method can not only

For executable programs, can also be used for any ordinary file. As long as you know the file name.

First get the full path to the program, using whereis or which, and then use rpm-qf for example:

# whereis ftptop

Ftptop: / usr/bin/ftptop / usr/share/man/man1/ftptop.1.gz

# rpm-qf / usr/bin/ftptop

Proftpd-1.2.8-1

# rpm-qf / usr/share/doc/proftpd-1.2.8/rfc/rfc0959.txt

Proftpd-1.2.8-1

Summary:

To get the information related to the software package, use rpm-Q _ Q _ Q to indicate the query query, followed by other options, such as

I stands for info and gets the information of the software package.

L stands for list and gets a list of files

A stands for all and executes queries in all packages

F stands for file and makes relevant queries according to the file.

P stands for package and is queried according to the software package

The required query conditions can be generated using grep or from the command line in "``"

6. Some knowledge about rpm software package

1. What is rpm?

Rpm, or RedHat Package Management, is one of the inventions of RedHat.

two。 Why do you need rpm

Under an operating system, you need to install software packages that implement various functions. These software packages generally have their own

Programs, but also have intricate dependencies. At the same time, you also need to solve the version of the software package and install it.

Configuration, uninstall automation problems. In order to solve these problems, RedHat proposed a

A better way to manage hundreds of thousands of software. This is the RPM management system. The rpm management system is installed in the system.

In the future, any packaged program that conforms to the rpm file standard can be easily installed, upgraded, and uninstalled.

3. Do all linux use rpm?

Any system requires a package management system, so many linux use rpm systems. But the rpm system is dedicated to RH.

But systems such as TL,Mandrake also use rpm. Because the source program of rpm can be compiled on other systems

So it is possible to use rpm on other systems as well

In addition to rpm, some other systems also have their own package management programs, such as debian's deb package

Slakware also has its own package management system.

Why is the file name of the 4.rpm package so long?

The file name of the rpm package contains version information of the package, operating system information, hardware requirements, and so on.

For example, mypackage-1.1-2TL.i386.rpm, where mypackage is the name of the software package registered in the system

1. 1 is the version number of the software, 2 is the release number, and TL indicates that it is used in the TL operating system, possibly RH, and so on. I386 means

For intel x86 platforms, and possibly sparc and so on.

5. What is the meaning of i386 in the file name of the software package

The file name of the rpm package contains not only the software name and version information, but also the applicable hardware architecture.

It's a message.

I386 refers to computers (AI32) with x86 architecture above intel 80386.

I686 refers to computers with x86 architecture (IA32) with intel 80686 or above (Pentium pro or above).

Noarch means that this software package is independent of hardware architecture and can be used in general.

I686 software packages are usually optimized for CPU, so backward compatibility comparison is used for i386 packages in the

It can be used on x86 machines. Forward is generally incompatible. However, in today's computers, there are very few CPU below Pentium pro.

Yes, usually configured machines can use i686 software packages

6. Can rpm packages issued by different operating systems be mixed?

Generally, rpm packages that have been compiled into binary cannot be mixed due to different operating system environments.

For packages distributed in src.rpm, because they need to be compiled locally at installation time, you can usually use different

Installed under the system.

7. Some special problems encountered when using rpm

Q I can't delete the rpm package with rpm-e * * .rpm

A package name does not include rpm

Rpm-e package name, which can contain information such as version number, but cannot have the suffix. rpm

Does Q have a tool to read RPM files under MS's system?

A wincmd with rpm plugins.

Q can I install and upgrade the rpm package through ftp installation?

A Yes. Rpm-ivh

Ftp://xxxxxxxx/PATH2SomeRPM

What if the existing package version of Q rpm is too high when it is installed?

A sometimes because the installed package is too old and the version of the relevant package in the system is relatively new, you may need to

Some files that the installed package depends on will not be found. There are two solutions.

The first is to find files in the system files that have the same or similar functions as the files you need, and make a symbolic link to the

Under the directory you need.

The following is how I know how to specify the installation path when installing a rpm package under Linux, many of which I learned online. Please give me a lot of advice.

The following options can be done the way you want.

-- prefix

This sets the installation prefix to for

Relocatable packages.

-- relocate =

For relocatable packages, translates the files that

Would be put in to.

-- badreloc

To be used in conjunction with-- relocate, this

Forces the relocation even if the package isn't

Relocatable.

-- noorder

Don't reorder the packages for an install. The list

Of packages would normally be reordered to satisfy

Dependancies.
