RPM Commands

List of basic linux rpm commands:

• Install an rpm:
    rpm -ivh <rpm package>
• Remove an rpm:
    rpm -e <rpm package>
• Upgrade an rpm:
    rpm -Uvh <rpm package>
  Note: This command is also for installing a new rpm, the different between -ivh to -Uvh is that ivh will not
  install the rpm if a previous version of that rpm is already installed.
• List all rpms installed on the server:
    rpm -qa
• List files of installed rpm:
    rpm -ql <rpm package>
• List files in an rpm file:
    rpm -qpl <package name>
• Get the rpm that owns a file:
    rpm -qf <full path file>
