Installing new software - Commmand to check if the package is correctly installed

If it come as a .tar.gz and contain a configure script

tar xzf package.tar.gz


cd package


./configure --prefix=$HOME & make & make install



This install the software in your home directory. To install it for every user, you need to omit the prefix option and be root when calling "make install".

If it comes as a rpm, you need to be root:

rpm -i package.rpm



To check if the package is correctly installed:

rpm -V package



To remove it:

rpm -e package
