- The correct title of this article is urpmi. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
urpmi is a Mandriva Linux package management command line tool for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote (networked) media. It wraps around the package manager rpm with the aim that the user should not have to suffer the often-encountered dependency hell.
Usage
urpmi <package_name> # Install package urpme <package_name> # Uninstall package with link (dependencies) urpmq <package_name> # Query the package database urpmf <file> # Find package that contains a file urpmi.update -a # Update your package list urpmi --auto-select # Update your system
Useful commands
urpmi -y <word> # Find package containing <word> in their name urpmi_rpm-find-leaves # Find package without link (dependencies)
