== RPM's ==
Installing a package from repository:
* [http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/articles/rpm.html RPM RedHat Package Manager]
* [http://linuxgazette.net/issue68/nazario.html Using RPM: THe Basics (Part I)]
* '''Install commands'''
<source lang="bash">
rpm -ivh package # Installing a package - verbose and progress bars
rpm -iv -nodeps package # Installing a package (verbose), ignore dependencies
</source>
* '''Query commands'''
<source lang="bash">
rpm -ql package # List files provided by a package
</source>
:* To query a package that has '''not been installed''', add '''-p''' option to the command:
<source lang="bash">
rpm -qpl package # List files provided by a package
</source>

== Source package ==
Installing from source package is usually done with
<source lang="bash">
<source lang="bash">
./configure
apt-get update # (OPTIONAL) update the local repository cache
make
apt-get install <package(s)> # Install given package
sudo make install
apt-get upgrade # Install new version of all installed package (without installing new package)
apt-get remove <package(s)> # Remove package (or install it if package name prefixed with - )
apt-get purge <package(s)> # Remove package and related configuration files
apt-get autoremove # Remove package installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed
</source>
</source>
Usually <code>./configure --help</code> gives additional package configuration options (like installing documentation, etc).


;Installing build dependencies
Querying packages that are installed / from cache repository:
: Building from sources usually requires more dependencies than using the package. If the package is available on the distribution, the easiest way to install these dependencies is usually via <code>apt-get build-dep</code>:
<source lang=bash>
<source lang=bash>
sudo apt-get build-dep udisks
dpkg --get-selections # Show the list of packages installed through apt-get
dpkg --get-selections | grep php # ... filtering for some specific package keyword
dpkg -L <package> # List files delivered by a given <package>
dlocate -L <package> # ... same as above but much faster (require package dlocate)
dpkg -S <file> # List packages providing given file
dlocate -S <file> # ... same as above but much faster (require package dlocate)
dlocate <file> # ... same as dpkg -L -S combined but much faster (require package dlocate)
apt-cache search <regex> # Search package cache (package name and description) for given <regex>
apt-cache search --name-only <regex> # ... same but only search in package name
apt-cache showpkg <package(s)> # Show information about given package(s)
</source>
</source>


;Installing as a package
Querying packages that are '''not installed yet''' (requires package '''apt-file'''):<br>
: Instead of installing with <code>make install</code>, use <code>[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall checkinstall]</code> to create a temporary package that can later be uninstalled with the package manager.
''Note: An alternative is to use the script '''[{{#file: dweblocate}} dweblocate]''', but '''apt-file''' is more powerful actually''
<div style="display:none"><source lang="bash">
<source lang="bash">
./configure
#!/bin/bash
make
sudo checkinstall # Creates a package and install it as if 'sudo make install' was run


#... to uninstall:
# Very handy script to query online debian/ubuntu package database.
sudo dpkg -r <packagename>
# It more or less imitates the behaviour of dlocate, but is not limited to package installed on the current system.
</source>
#
:Note that <tt>checkinstall</tt> can actually run any arbitrary command and monitor change on the file system.
# Usage:
#
# dweblocate -L <package> List all files in package <package>
# dweblocate -S <filename> List all packages that contains <filename>

RPM's

rpm -ivh package                    # Installing a package - verbose and progress bars
rpm -iv -nodeps package             # Installing a package (verbose), ignore dependencies
  • Query commands
rpm -ql package                     # List files provided by a package
  • To query a package that has not been installed, add -p option to the command:
rpm -qpl package                    # List files provided by a package
