In the Linux operating system, because there are many versions, software applications that often appear in one Linux distribution will not work properly if they are converted to another distribution. As a result, there are usually several ways to install software in a Linux operating system, which includes using an RPM package manager. Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system commonly used in Red Hat-based Linux distributions. RPM allows users to install, upgrade, query, and delete software packages, and it provides a convenient way to manage software dependencies and versions.

RPM Package Manager is an abbreviation for "Red Hat Package Manager", and despite having "Red Hat" in its name, its original design philosophy was open-ended. In addition to Red Hat Linux, other distributions such as OpenLinux, Su.s.e.and TurboLinux, which also uses RPM. Therefore, RPM can be considered a standard in the Linux industry.

As a package management tool, RPM manages the data of all RPM program components that have been installed on the system. This means that RPM allows users to easily install, uninstall, upgrade, and manage various software packages.

With RPM, users can ensure the consistency and integrity of their packages, as RPM handles dependencies between packages and ensures that all necessary files are properly installed into the system. In addition, thanks to the presence of the RPM database, users can also easily query the information of installed software packages.

rpm also provides a software store, we can search for a large number of applications in the software store, just open in the browser: rpmfind.net.
