Query RPM

Some RPM commands that I regularly use (and struggle to find their syntax)


In order to query which RPM is installed on your machine

rpm -qa |grep somthing

Query a specific RPM installed on your machine:

rpm -qil nameOfYouPackage

Same but for RPM that is not installed on your machine (

rpm -qpil  nameOfYouPackage.rpm

Erase an installed RPM

rpm -e NameOfYourPackage

Search for availability of a package in the yum repositories:

 yum list stingraymain

Some Yum commands en vrac

yum search YourYumPackage
yum install YourYumPackage
yum remove YourYumPackage
yum info  YourYumPackage
