Starting GnoRPM

10.1 Starting GnoRPM

You can start GnoRPM from either an X terminal window or from the GNOME desktop panel, under System.

To start GnoRPM from an X terminal window, at the shell prompt, simply type

gnorpm 

That will bring up the main GnoRPM window (as shown in Figure 125).

Please Note: If you would like to install, upgrade or uninstall packages, you must be in root. The easiest way to do this is to type su root and then the root password at a shell prompt. However, you do not need to be in root to query and verify packages.

There are several parts to the GnoRPM interface.
