rpmtyökalujen

Rpmtyökalujen refers to a collection of command-line utilities used for managing RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) packages on Linux systems. These tools are fundamental for software installation, removal, querying, and verification within distributions that utilize the RPM package format, such as Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL.

The primary tool is the `rpm` command itself. It handles a wide range of operations. For instance, installing a package is done using `rpm -i package.rpm`, while removing it is `rpm -e package-name`. Querying installed packages is achieved with `rpm -q package-name` to check for a specific package or `rpm -qa` to list all installed packages. Detailed information about a package, including its dependencies and file list, can be retrieved using `rpm -qi package-name` and `rpm -ql package-name` respectively. Verifying the integrity of installed packages is performed with `rpm -V package-name`.

Other important rpmtyökalujen include `rpmbuild`, which is used to construct RPM packages from source code, and `yum` or `dnf` (Dandified Yum), which are higher-level package managers that build upon the `rpm` command. These higher-level tools automate dependency resolution and repository management, making the software management process more user-friendly. Understanding rpmtyökalujen is essential for system administrators and users who need to manage software on RPM-based Linux systems effectively.
