15@sc{rpm} is a powerful package manager, which can be used to build, install, query, verify, update, and erase individual software packages.
16@sc{Singular} can be installed on an @sc{rpm} based @sc{Linux} system.
17The installation of @sc{Singular} on a general @sc{Unix} system is described in @code{INSTALL_unix}.

21The following @sc{Singular} @sc{rpm} packages are available.
22
23@table @code
24@item @uref{Singular-@value{RPM_VERSION}-1.i386.rpm}
25contains architecture dependend executables like the Singular program.
26@item @uref{Singular-static-@value{RPM_VERSION}-1.i386.rpm}
27contains the static version of the architecture dependend executables.
28@item @uref{Singular-share-@value{RPM_VERSION}-1.noarch.rpm}
29contains architecture independend data like documentation and libraries.
30@item @uref{Singular-desktop-@value{RPM_VERSION}-1.noarch.rpm}
