What is an RPM file?
In short
An RPM is a Red Hat, Fedora or SUSE package: a header with facts and file list, then the files as a compressed CPIO.
The package’s name, version, architecture, licence, build date and requirements, and every file it installs, from its header. A file opens when clicked.
How to open an RPM file
- Add your RPM. Drop the file in the box, choose it or paste it.
- Look at it. The package’s name, version, architecture, licence, build date and requirements, and every file it installs, from its header. A file opens when clicked.
- Take it further. Download any file from inside an archive, or open another file.
