What is Package?
What is RPM?
rpm -e zip [ To remove Package ]
In the generic sense, an RPM package is a container of files. It includes the group of files associated with a specific program or application, which normally includes binary installation scripts, as well as configuration and documentation files. It also includes instructions on how and where these files should be installed and uninstalled.
The RPM Package Manager greatly simplifies the distribution, installation, upgradation and removal of software on RHEL systems.
Software to be installed using rpm is distributed through rpm package files, which are essentially compressed archives of files and associated dependency information. Package files are named using the following format:
name-version-release.architecture.rpm
