Originally standing for "Red Hat Package Manager", RPM now stands for "RPM Package Manager," which is a recursive acronym.We don't have to worry about these things,We are concentrating on the installing the rpm in our Linux [RHEL or Fedora]
1. Install the package
          rpm -ivh packageName
2. Upgrade the existing package
          rpm -Uvh packageName
3. Query for installed package
          rpm -qa packageName
    if you don't know exact package name [Say hotrod-1.0-1.i386.rpm ],you can use command as
         rpm -qa | grep hotrod
   if you try
         rpm -qa
   this will list out all the installed rpm packages.
These commands are enough for installing the rpm packages.
