An RPM primer

The basic RPM commands are:

  • to install (update) an RPM
$ rpm -Uvh 
  • to check if an RPM is installed
$ rpm -q 
  • to get information on an RPM package from its file
$ rpm -qpi 
  • to get information on an RPM package that has been installed
$ rpm -qi 
  • to get a list of files in an RPM package
$ rpm -qlp 
  • to get a list of dependencies of an RPM package
$ rpm -qp --requires 
  • to get a list of packages that depend on this rpm package
$ rpm -q --whatrequires 

This should be enough to get you going.
