urpmi Description

urpmi's purpose is to install rpm packages, including all their dependencies. You can also use it to install the build dependencies of an srpm (an rpm source package), or the build dependencies read from a plain rpm spec file; or to install a source package itself in order to rebuild it afterwards.You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get. Just run urpmi followed by what you think is the name of the package(s), and urpmi will:- Propose different package names if the name was ambiguous, and quit.- If only one corresponding package is found, check whether its dependencies are already installed.- If not, propose to install the dependencies, and on a positive answer, proceed.- Finish by installing the requested package(s).Note that urpmi handles installations from various types of media (ftp, http, https, rsync, ssh, local and nfs volumes, and removable media such as CDROMs or DVDs) and is able to install dependencies from a medium different from the original package's media. For removable media, urpmi may ask you to insert the appropriate disk, if necessary.To add a new medium containing rpms, run urpmi.addmedia. To remove an existing medium, use urpmi.removemedia. To update the package list (for example when the ftp archive changes) use urpmi.update.SYNOPSIS urpmi urpmi --auto-selectProduct's homepage
