14 | @sc{rpm} is a powerful package manager, which can be used to build, install, query, verify, update, and erase individual software packages. |
---|
15 | @sc{Singular} can be installed on an @sc{rpm} based @sc{Linux} system. |
---|
16 | The installation of @sc{Singular} on a general @sc{Unix} system is described in @code{INSTALL_unix}. |

43 | You can only use the @sc{Singular} @sc{rpm} packages on an @sc{rpm} based @sc{Linux} system like @sc{RedHat Linux} or @sc{SuSE Linux}. |
---|
44 | You can check this by typing |
---|
45 | @smallexample |
---|
46 | rpm |
---|
47 | @end smallexample |
---|
48 | in a command shell. This should produce an output like |

58 | To deal with @sc{rpm} packages, you can either use the @sc{rpm} command line tool @code{rpm} or a graphical @sc{rpm} frontend like e.g. @code{gnorpm} under @sc{gnome} or @code{kpackage} under @sc{kde}. |
---|
59 | For a description of the usage of @code{rpm}, type |
---|
60 | @smallexample |
