Redhat Package Manager


How do you install RPM packages in windows?

While RPM was originally part of the RedHat Linux distribution, RPM viewers / extractors are now available for most platforms including Windows. A search on 'RPM Viewer' or 'RPM Windows' will come up with more than a few options, such as IZArc, 7-Zip and BitZipper. Well, RPM is the RedHat Package Manager and RedHat is a distribution of Linux. To make use of .rpm packages under Windoze one would need to run some type of virtualization (for example, VMware). RedHat Linux can then be installed as a virtual system and the .rpm package can be installed within it. The .rpm package format is somewhat of a defacto standard and many different flavors of Linux can deal with it.
