install rpm

I must install few rpm packages. How to do that - SSH only or have another way. I don`t know SSH well.

Login to WHM. From the WHM main page, select Software, then Install a RPM. Select from "Select packages to install". Check Ignore Dependencies if you want WHM to ignore dependencies that occur during installation, and Force Install if you are reinstalling a package. Click on Install.

I prefer to work with SSH. I will show you some basic commands with yum in shell:
To install a RPM package, use the command:

rpm -ivh rpmpackage.i386.rpm

Of course, first you need to download it to VPS.

To upgrade a RPM package:

rpm -Uvh rpmpackage.i386.rpm

With this command, RPM automatically uninstall the old version of package and install the new one. Always use rpm -Uvh to install packages, since it works fine even when there are no previous versions of the package installed.

To uninstall a RPM package, use the command:

rpm -e rpmpackage

To query a RPM package and see package name, version, and release number of installed package:

rpm -q rpmpackage

To display package information:

rpm -qi pmpackage

This command display package information - includes name, version, and description of the installed program. Use this command to get information about the installed package.

Yes that is true. And is good to be know that no more force install option. If necessary to be without checking dependencies, use following:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps
