indexterm:[RPM,design goals,upgradability] Upgradability
 
With [application]*RPM*, you can upgrade individual components of your system without a complete reinstallation. When you get a new release of an operating system based on [application]*RPM*, such as {MAJOROS}, you do not need to reinstall a fresh copy of the operating system on your machine (as you might need to with operating systems based on other packaging systems). [application]*RPM* allows for intelligent, fully-automated, in-place upgrades of your system. In addition, configuration files in packages are preserved across upgrades, so you do not lose your customizations. There are no special upgrade files needed to upgrade a package because the same [application]*RPM* file is used to both install and upgrade the package on the system.
 
indexterm:[RPM,design goals,powerful querying] Powerful Querying
 
[application]*RPM* is designed to provide powerful querying options. You can perform searches on your copy of the database for packages or even just certain files. You can also easily find out what package a file belongs to and where the package came from. The files an [application]*RPM* package contains are in a compressed archive, with a custom binary header containing useful information about the package and its contents, allowing you to query individual packages quickly and easily.
 
indexterm:[RPM,design goals,system verification] System Verification
 
Another powerful [application]*RPM* feature is the ability to verify packages. It allows you to verify that the files installed on the system are the same as the ones supplied by a given package. If an inconsistency is detected, [application]*RPM* notifies you, and you can reinstall the package if necessary. Any configuration files that you modified are preserved during reinstallation.
 
indexterm:[packages,RPM,pristine sources] Pristine Sources
 
A crucial design goal was to allow the use of *pristine* software sources, as distributed by the original authors of the software. With [application]*RPM*, you have the pristine sources along with any patches that were used, plus complete build instructions. This is an important advantage for several reasons. For instance, if a new version of a program is released, you do not necessarily have to start from scratch to get it to compile. You can look at the patch to see what you *might* need to do. All the compiled-in defaults, and all of the changes that were made to get the software to build properly, are easily visible using this technique.
 
The goal of keeping sources pristine may seem important only for developers, but it results in higher quality software for end users.
 
Using RPM
 
[application]*RPM* has five basic modes of operationindexterm:[RPM,basic modes] (not counting package building): installing, uninstalling, upgrading, querying, and verifying. This section contains an overview of each mode. For complete details and options, try [command]#rpm --help# or see *rpm*(8). Also, see xref:RPM.adoc#s1-rpm-additional-resources[Additional Resources] for more information on [application]*RPM*.
 
Installing and Upgrading Packages
 
indexterm:[RPM,installing]indexterm:[RPM,upgrading]indexterm:[packages,installing RPM]indexterm:[packages,upgrading RPM]indexterm:[RPM,file name] [application]*RPM* packages typically have file names in the following form:
 
package_name-version-release-operating_system-CPU_architecture.rpm
 
For example the `tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64.rpm` file name includes the package name (`tree`), version (`1.7.0`), release (`3`), operating system major version (`{PKGOS}`) and *CPU* architecture (`x86_64`).

When installing a package, ensure it is compatible with your operating system and processor architecture. This can usually be determined by checking the package name. For example, the file name of an [application]*RPM* package compiled for the AMD64/Intel{nbsp}64 computer architectures ends with `x86_64.rpm`.
 
The [option]`-U` (or [option]`--upgrade`) option has two functions, it can be used to:
 
upgrade an existing package on the system to a newer version, or
 
install a package if an older version is not already installed.
 
The [command]#rpm -U _package.rpm_pass:attributes[{blank}]# command is therefore able to either *upgrade* or *install*, depending on the presence of an older version of _package.rpm_ on the system.
 
Assuming the `tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64.rpm` package is in the current directory, log in as `root` and type the following command at a shell prompt to either upgrade or install the [package]*tree* package:
 
~]#{nbsp}rpm -Uvh tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64.rpm
 
Use -Uvh for nicely-formatted RPM installs
 
The [option]`-v` and [option]`-h` options (which are combined with [option]`-U`) cause [application]*rpm* to print more verbose output and display a progress meter using hash signs.
 
If the upgrade or installation is successful, the following output is displayed:
 
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:tree ########################################### [100%]
 
Always use the -i (install) option to install new kernel packages!
 
[command]#rpm# provides two different options for installing packages: the aforementioned [option]`-U` option (which historically stands for *upgrade*), and the [option]`-i` option (which historically stands for *install*). Because the [option]`-U` option includes both install and upgrade functions, the use of [command]#rpm -Uvh# with all packages, *except kernel packages*, is recommended.
 
You should always use the [option]`-i` option to *install* a new kernel package instead of upgrading it. This is because using the [option]`-U` option to upgrade a kernel package removes the previous (older) kernel package, which could render the system unable to boot if there is a problem with the new kernel. Therefore, use the [command]#rpm -i _kernel_package_pass:attributes[{blank}]# command to install a new kernel *without replacing any older kernel packages*. For more information on installing [package]*kernel* packages, see xref:kernel-module-driver-configuration/Manually_Upgrading_the_Kernel.adoc#ch-Manually_Upgrading_the_Kernel[Manually Upgrading the Kernel].
 
The signature of a package is checked automatically when installing or upgrading a package. The signature confirms that the package was signed by an authorized party. If the verification of the signature fails, an error message is displayed.
