Description

RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful open-source package management system used primarily in Linux and Unix-like operating systems. It is capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. It can be used from the command line, or from a graphical user interface. The RPM Package Manager works by keeping track of the software packages installed on a system, and providing an efficient way to query, install, update, and uninstall software. It is also used to provide dependency resolution, meaning that packages can be installed automatically if their required dependencies are already installed. RPM is a popular package manager due to its features, such as its ability to manage multiple versions of a package, and its ability to verify the integrity of packages. Additionally, RPM is a powerful tool for managing system configuration files and other system-level settings.
