70 rpm is a powerful Package Manager, which can be used to build, install,
71 query, verify, update, and erase individual software packages. A pack‐
72 age consists of an archive of files and meta-data used to install and
73 erase the archive files. The meta-data includes helper scripts, file
74 attributes, and descriptive information about the package. Packages
75 come in two varieties: binary packages, used to encapsulate software to
76 be installed, and source packages, containing the source code and
77 recipe necessary to produce binary packages.
78 One of the following basic modes must be selected: Query, Verify, In‐
80 stall/Upgrade/Freshen/Reinstall, Uninstall, Set Owners/Groups, Show
81 Querytags, and Show Configuration.
82 GENERAL OPTIONS
84 These options can be used in all the different modes.
85 -?, --help
87 Print a longer usage message than normal.
88 --version
90 Print a single line containing the version number of rpm being
91 used.
92 --quiet
94 Print as little as possible - normally only error messages will
95 be displayed.
96 -v, --verbose
98 Print verbose information - normally routine progress messages
99 will be displayed.
100 -vv Print lots of ugly debugging information.
102 --rcfile FILELIST
104 Replace the list of configuration files to be read. Each of the
105 files in the colon separated FILELIST is read sequentially by
106 rpm for configuration information. Only the first file in the
107 list must exist, and tildes will be expanded to the value of
108 $HOME. The default FILELIST is /usr/lib/rpm/rpm‐
109 rc:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc:/etc/rpmrc:~/.rpmrc.
110 --load FILE
112 Load an individual macro file.
113 --macros FILELIST
115 Replace the list of macro files to be loaded. Each of the files
116 in the colon separated FILELIST is read sequentially by rpm for
117 macro definitions. Only the first file in the list must exist,
118 and tildes will be expanded to the value of $HOME. The default
119 FILELIST is
120 /usr/lib/rpm/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.*:/usr/lib/rpm/plat‐
121 form/%{_target}/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/*.at‐
122 tr:/usr/lib/rpm/red‐
123 hat/macros:/etc/rpm/macros.*:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/%{_tar‐
124 get}/macros:~/.rpmmacros
125 --pipe CMD
127 Pipes the output of rpm to the command CMD.
128 --dbpath DIRECTORY
130 Use the database in DIRECTORY rather than the default path
131 /var/lib/rpm
132 --root DIRECTORY
134 Use the file system tree rooted at DIRECTORY for all operations.
135 Note that this means the database within DIRECTORY will be used
136 for dependency checks and any scriptlet(s) (e.g. %post if in‐
137 stalling, or %prep if building, a package) will be run after a
138 chroot(2) to DIRECTORY.
139 Note that rpm assumes the environment inside the root is set up
141 by the caller, such as any mounts needed for the operation in‐
142 side the root directory.
143 -D, --define='MACRO EXPR'
145 Defines MACRO with value EXPR.
146 --undefine='MACRO'
148 Undefines MACRO.
149 -E, --eval='EXPR'
151 Prints macro expansion of EXPR.
152 More - less often needed - options can be found on the rpm-misc(8) man
154 page.
155 INSTALL AND UPGRADE OPTIONS
157 In these options, PACKAGE_FILE can be either rpm binary file or ASCII
158 package manifest (see PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS), and may be specified
159 as an ftp or http URL, in which case the package will be downloaded be‐
160 fore being installed. See FTP/HTTP OPTIONS for information on rpm's
161 ftp and http client support.
162 The general form of an rpm install command is
164 rpm {-i|--install} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
166 This installs a new package.
168 The general form of an rpm upgrade command is
170 rpm {-U|--upgrade} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
172 This upgrades or installs the package currently installed to a newer
174 version. This is the same as install, except all other version(s) of
175 the package are removed after the new package is installed.
176 rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
178 This will upgrade packages, but only ones for which an earlier version
180 is installed.
181 The general form of an rpm reinstall command is
183 rpm {--reinstall} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
185 This reinstalls a previously installed package.
187 --allfiles
189 Installs or upgrades all the missingok files in the package, re‐
190 gardless if they exist.
191 --badreloc
193 Used with --relocate, permit relocations on all file paths, not
194 just those OLDPATH's included in the binary package relocation
195 hint(s).
196 --excludepath OLDPATH
198 Don't install files whose name begins with OLDPATH.
199 --excludeartifacts
201 Don't install any files which are marked as artifacts, such as
202 build-id links.
203 --excludedocs
205 Don't install any files which are marked as documentation (which
206 includes man pages and texinfo documents).
207 --force
209 Same as using --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, and --oldpackage.
210 -h, --hash
212 Print 50 hash marks as the package archive is unpacked. Use
213 with -v|--verbose for a nicer display.
214 --ignoresize
216 Don't check mount file systems for sufficient disk space before
217 installing this package.
218 --ignorearch
220 Allow installation or upgrading even if the architectures of the
221 binary package and host don't match.
222 --ignoreos
224 Allow installation or upgrading even if the operating systems of
225 the binary package and host don't match.
226 --includedocs
228 Install documentation files. This is the default behavior.
229 --justdb
231 Update only the database, not the filesystem.
232 --nodb Update only the filesystem, not the database.
234 --nodigest
236 Don't verify package or header digests when reading.
237 --nomanifest
239 Don't process non-package files as manifests.
240 --nosignature
242 Don't verify package or header signatures when reading.
243 --nodeps
245 Don't do a dependency check before installing or upgrading a
246 package.
247 --nocaps
249 Don't set file capabilities.
250 --noorder
252 Don't reorder the packages for an install. The list of packages
253 would normally be reordered to satisfy dependencies.
254 --noverify
256 Don't perform verify package files prior to installation.
257 --noplugins
259 Do not load and execute plugins.
260 --noscripts, --nopre, --nopost, --nopreun, --nopostun, --nopretrans,
262 --noposttrans
263 Don't execute the scriptlet of the same name. The --noscripts
264 option is equivalent to
265 --nopre --nopost --nopreun --nopostun --nopretrans --noposttrans
267 and turns off the execution of the corresponding %pre, %post, %preun,
269 %postun %pretrans, and %posttrans scriptlet(s).
270 --notriggers, --notriggerin, --notriggerun, --notriggerprein, --notrig‐
272 gerpostun
273 Don't execute any trigger scriptlet of the named type. The
274 --notriggers option is equivalent to
275 --notriggerprein --notriggerin --notriggerun --notriggerpostun
277 and turns off execution of the corresponding %triggerprein, %triggerin,
279 %triggerun, and %triggerpostun scriptlet(s).
280 --oldpackage
282 Allow an upgrade to replace a newer package with an older one.
283 --percent
285 Print percentages as files are unpacked from the package ar‐
286 chive. This is intended to make rpm easy to run from other
287 tools.
288 --prefix NEWPATH
290 For relocatable binary packages, translate all file paths that
291 start with the installation prefix in the package relocation
292 hint(s) to NEWPATH.
293 --relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH
295 For relocatable binary packages, translate all file paths that
296 start with OLDPATH in the package relocation hint(s) to NEWPATH.
297 This option can be used repeatedly if several OLDPATH's in the
298 package are to be relocated.
299 --replacefiles
301 Install the packages even if they replace files from other, al‐
302 ready installed, packages.
303 --replacepkgs
305 Install the packages even if some of them are already installed
306 on this system.
307 --test Do not install the package, simply check for and report poten‐
309 tial conflicts.
310 ERASE OPTIONS
312 The general form of an rpm erase command is
313 rpm {-e|--erase} [--allmatches] [--justdb] [--nodeps] [--noscripts]
315 [--notriggers] [--test] PACKAGE_NAME ...
316 The following options may also be used:
318 --allmatches
320 Remove all versions of the package which match PACKAGE_NAME.
321 Normally an error is issued if PACKAGE_NAME matches multiple
322 packages.
323 --justdb
325 Update only the database, not the filesystem.
326 --nodeps
328 Don't check dependencies before uninstalling the packages.
329 --noscripts, --nopreun, --nopostun
331 Don't execute the scriptlet of the same name. The --noscripts
332 option during package erase is equivalent to
333 --nopreun --nopostun
335 and turns off the execution of the corresponding %preun, and %postun
337 scriptlet(s).
338 --notriggers, --notriggerun, --notriggerpostun
340 Don't execute any trigger scriptlet of the named type. The
341 --notriggers option is equivalent to
342 --notriggerun --notriggerpostun
344 and turns off execution of the corresponding %triggerun, and %trigger‐
346 postun scriptlet(s).
347 --test Don't really uninstall anything, just go through the motions.
349 Useful in conjunction with the -vv option for debugging.
350 QUERY OPTIONS
352 The general form of an rpm query command is
353 rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
355 You may specify the format that package information should be printed
357 in. To do this, you use the
358 --qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT
360 option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. Query formats are mod‐
362 ified versions of the standard printf(3) formatting. The format is
363 made up of static strings (which may include standard C character es‐
364 capes for newlines, tabs, and other special characters (not including
365 \0)) and printf(3) type formatters. As rpm already knows the type to
366 print, the type specifier must be omitted however, and replaced by the
367 name of the header tag to be printed, enclosed by {} characters. Tag
368 names are case insensitive, and the leading RPMTAG_ portion of the tag
369 name may be omitted as well.
370 Alternate output formats may be requested by following the tag with
372 :typetag. Currently, the following types are supported:
373 :armor Wrap a public key in ASCII armor.
375 :arraysize
377 Display number of elements in array tags.
378 :base64
380 Encode binary data using base64.
381 :date Use strftime(3) "%c" format.
383 :day Use strftime(3) "%a %b %d %Y" format.
385 :depflags
387 Format dependency comparison operator.
388 :deptype
390 Format dependency type.
391 :expand
393 Perform macro expansion.
394 :fflags
396 Format file flags.
397 :fstate
399 Format file state.
400 :fstatus
402 Format file verify status.
403 :hex Format in hexadecimal.
405 :octal Format in octal.
407 :humaniec
409 Human readable number (in IEC 80000). The suffix K = 1024, M =
410 1048576, ...
411 :humansi
413 Human readable number (in SI). The suffix K = 1000, M =
414 1000000, ...
415 :perms Format file permissions.
417 :pgpsig
419 Display signature fingerprint and time.
420 :shescape
422 Escape single quotes for use in a script.
423 :string
425 Display string format. (default)
426 :tagname
428 Display tag name.
429 :tagnum
431 Display tag number.
432 :triggertype
434 Display trigger suffix.
435 :vflags
437 File verification flags.
438 :xml Wrap data in simple xml markup.
440 For example, to print only the names of the packages queried, you could
442 use %{NAME} as the format string. To print the packages name and dis‐
443 tribution information in two columns, you could use %-30{NAME}%{DISTRI‐
444 BUTION}. rpm will print a list of all of the tags it knows about when
445 it is invoked with the --querytags argument.
446 There are three subsets of options for querying: package selection,
448 file selection and information selection.
449 PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS:
451 PACKAGE_NAME
452 Query installed package named PACKAGE_NAME. To specify the
453 package more precisely the package name may be followed by the
454 version or version and release both separated by a dash or an
455 architecture name separated by a dot. See the output of rpm -qa
456 or rpm -qp PACKAGE_FILE as an example.
457 -a, --all [SELECTOR]
459 Query all installed packages.
460 An optional SELECTOR in the form of tag=pattern can be provided to nar‐
462 row the selection, for example name="b*" to query packages whose name
463 starts with "b".
464 --dupes
466 List duplicated packages.
467 -f, --file FILE
469 Query package owning installed FILE.
470 --filecaps
472 List file names with POSIX1.e capabilities.
473 --fileclass
475 List file names with their classes (libmagic classification).
476 --filecolor
478 List file names with their colors (0 for noarch, 1 for 32bit, 2
479 for 64 bit).
480 --fileprovide
482 List file names with their provides.
483 --filerequire
485 List file names with their requires.
486 -g, --group GROUP
488 Query packages with the group of GROUP.
489 --hdrid SHA1
491 Query package that contains a given header identifier, i.e. the
492 SHA1 digest of the immutable header region.
493 -p, --package PACKAGE_FILE
495 Query an (uninstalled) package PACKAGE_FILE. The PACKAGE_FILE
496 may be specified as an ftp or http style URL, in which case the
497 package header will be downloaded and queried. See FTP/HTTP OP‐
498 TIONS for information on rpm's ftp and http client support. The
499 PACKAGE_FILE argument(s), if not a binary package, will be in‐
500 terpreted as an ASCII package manifest unless --nomanifest op‐
501 tion is used. In manifests, comments are permitted, starting
502 with a '#', and each line of a package manifest file may include
503 white space separated glob expressions, including URL's, that
504 will be expanded to paths that are substituted in place of the
505 package manifest as additional PACKAGE_FILE arguments to the
506 query.
507 --path PATH
509 Query package(s) owning PATH, whether the file is installed or
510 not. Multiple packages may own a PATH, but the file is only
511 owned by the package installed last.
512 --pkgid MD5
514 Query package that contains a given package identifier, i.e. the
515 MD5 digest of the combined header and payload contents.
516 --querybynumber HDRNUM
518 Query the HDRNUMth database entry directly; this is useful only
519 for debugging.
520 --specfile SPECFILE
522 Parse and query SPECFILE as if it were a package. Although not
523 all the information (e.g. file lists) is available, this type of
524 query permits rpm to be used to extract information from spec
525 files without having to write a specfile parser.
526 --tid TID
528 Query package(s) that have a given TID transaction identifier.
529 A unix time stamp is currently used as a transaction identifier.
530 All package(s) installed or erased within a single transaction
531 have a common identifier.
532 --triggeredby PACKAGE_NAME
534 Query packages that are triggered by package(s) PACKAGE_NAME.
535 --whatobsoletes CAPABILITY
537 Query all packages that obsolete CAPABILITY for proper function‐
538 ing.
539 --whatprovides CAPABILITY
541 Query all packages that provide the CAPABILITY capability.
542 --whatrequires CAPABILITY
544 Query all packages that require CAPABILITY for proper function‐
545 ing.
546 --whatconflicts CAPABILITY
548 Query all packages that conflict with CAPABILITY.
549 --whatrecommends CAPABILITY
551 Query all packages that recommend CAPABILITY.
552 --whatsuggests CAPABILITY
554 Query all packages that suggest CAPABILITY.
555 --whatsupplements CAPABILITY
557 Query all packages that supplement CAPABILITY.
558 --whatenhances CAPABILITY
560 Query all packages that enhance CAPABILITY.
561 PACKAGE QUERY OPTIONS:
563 --changelog
564 Display change information for the package.
565 --changes
567 Display change information for the package with full time
568 stamps.
569 --conflicts
571 List capabilities this package conflicts with.
572 --dump Dump file information as follows (implies -l):
574 path size mtime digest mode owner group isconfig isdoc rdev symlink
576 --enhances
579 List capabilities enhanced by package(s)
580 --filesbypkg
582 List all the files in each selected package.
583 --filetriggers
585 List filetrigger scriptlets from package(s).
586 -i, --info
588 Display package information, including name, version, and de‐
589 scription. This uses the --queryformat if one was specified.
590 --last Orders the package listing by install time such that the latest
592 packages are at the top.
593 -l, --list
595 List files in package.
596 --obsoletes
598 List packages this package obsoletes.
599 --provides
601 List capabilities this package provides.
602 --recommends
604 List capabilities recommended by package(s)
605 -R, --requires
607 List capabilities on which this package depends.
608 --suggests
610 List capabilities suggested by package(s)
611 --supplements
613 List capabilities supplemented by package(s)
614 --scripts
616 List the package specific scriptlet(s) that are used as part of
617 the installation and uninstallation processes.
618 -s, --state
620 Display the states of files in the package (implies -l). The
621 state of each file is one of normal, not installed, or replaced.
622 --triggers, --triggerscripts
624 Display the trigger scripts, if any, which are contained in the
625 package. --xml Format package headers as XML.
626 FILE SELECTION OPTIONS:
628 -A, --artifactfiles
629 Only include artifact files (implies -l).
630 -c, --configfiles
632 Only include configuration files (implies -l).
633 -d, --docfiles
635 Only include documentation files (implies -l).
636 -L, --licensefiles
638 Only include license files (implies -l).
639 --noartifact
641 Exclude artifact files.
642 --noconfig
644 Exclude config files.
645 --noghost
647 Exclude ghost files.
648 VERIFY OPTIONS
650 The general form of an rpm verify command is
651 rpm {-V|--verify} [select-options] [verify-options]
653 Verifying a package compares information about the installed files in
655 the package with information about the files taken from the package
656 metadata stored in the rpm database. Among other things, verifying
657 compares the size, digest, permissions, type, owner and group of each
658 file. Any discrepancies are displayed. Files that were not installed
659 from the package, for example, documentation files excluded on instal‐
660 lation using the "--excludedocs" option, will be silently ignored.
661 The package and file selection options are the same as for package
663 querying (including package manifest files as arguments). Other op‐
664 tions unique to verify mode are:
665 --nodeps
667 Don't verify dependencies of packages.
668 --nodigest
670 Don't verify package or header digests when reading.
671 --nofiles
673 Don't verify any attributes of package files.
674 --noscripts
676 Don't execute the %verifyscript scriptlet (if any).
677 --nosignature
679 Don't verify package or header signatures when reading.
680 --nolinkto
682 --nofiledigest (formerly --nomd5)
684 --nosize
686 --nouser
688 --nogroup
690 --nomtime
692 --nomode
694 --nordev
696 Don't verify the corresponding file attribute.
697 --nocaps
699 Don't verify file capabilities.
700 The format of the output is a string of 9 characters, a possible attri‐
702 bute marker:
703 c %config configuration file.
705 d %doc documentation file.
706 g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package payload).
707 l %license license file.
708 r %readme readme file.
709 from the package header, followed by the file name. Each of the 9
711 characters denotes the result of a comparison of attribute(s) of the
712 file to the value of those attribute(s) recorded in the database. A
713 single "." (period) means the test passed, while a single "?" (question
714 mark) indicates the test could not be performed (e.g. file permissions
715 prevent reading). Otherwise, the (mnemonically emBoldened) character
716 denotes failure of the corresponding --verify test:
717 S file Size differs
719 M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type)
720 5 digest (formerly MD5 sum) differs
721 D Device major/minor number mismatch
722 L readLink(2) path mismatch
723 U User ownership differs
724 G Group ownership differs
725 T mTime differs
726 P caPabilities differ
727 MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS
729 rpm --showrc
730 shows the values rpm will use for all of the options are cur‐
731 rently set in rpmrc and macros configuration file(s).
732 rpm --setperms | --setugids | --setcaps PACKAGE_NAME
734 obsolete aliases for --restore
735 rpm --restore [select-options]
737 The option restores file metadata such as timestamp, owner,
738 group, permissions and capabilities of files in packages.
739 FTP/HTTP OPTIONS
741 rpm can act as an FTP and/or HTTP client so that packages can be
742 queried or installed from the internet. Package files for install, up‐
