Install Mode

RPM's installation mode is used to install packages:

Format: rpm --install <packagefile>
or
Format: rpm -i <packagefile>

Options To Install Mode

The following options can be used on any install command:

• -h, --hash -- Print hash marks as package installs (good with -v).

• --prefix <dir> -- Relocate the package to <dir>, if relocatable.

• --noscripts -- Do not execute any installation scripts.

• --percent -- Print percentages as package installs.
