+.TH urpmi 8 "05 Jul 2001" "MandrakeSoft" "Mandrake Linux"
+.IX urpmi
+.SH NAME
+urpmi \- rpm wrapper making installs easier for the user
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B urpmi [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIpackage_names\fP | \fIrpm_files...\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+urpmi enables non-superuser install of rpms. In fact, it only authorizes
+well-known rpms to be installed. If you want to install local rpm file, you
+will have to be root.
+
+You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get
+.PP
+All users belonging to group urpmi are allowed to install packages.
+.br
+Just launch urpmi followed by what you think is the name of the package(s),
+and urpmi will:
+.br
+\- Propose different package names if availables and quit.
+.br
+\- If only one corresponding package is found, check whether dependencies are
+already installed, or not.
+.br
+\- If not, propose to install the dependencies and then install all required
+dependencies and the package.
+.PP
+Note that urpmi handle installations from various medias (ftp, http, local and
+nfs volumes, removable medias such as CDROMs) and is able to install
+dependencies from a media different from the package's media.
+If necessary, urpmi asks you to insert the required media.
+.PP
+To add a new media containing rpms run urpmi.addmedia.
+.br
+To remove a media use urpmi.removemedia.
+.br
+To update the packages list (for example when the ftp archive changed) use
+urpmi.update.
+.br
+To automatically install a package corresponding to an executable you tried
+to launch, use autoirpm.
+.br
+To install all available menu entries of all known packages,
+use autoirpm-icons.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB\--help\fP"
+print an help message and exit.
+.IP "\fB\--update\fP"
+use only update media. This means \fBurpmi\fP will search and resolve
+dependencies only in media marked as update.
+.IP "\fB\--auto\fP"
+installs all required dependencies without asking.
+.IP "\fB\--auto-select\fP"
+automatically select all packages that have to be upgraded according to already
+installed packages and packages listed in various media registered.
+.IP "\fB\--force\fP"
+assumes yes on all questions.
+.IP "\fB\--X\fP"
+use X interface.
+.IP "\fB\--best-output\fP"
+try to use X interface or if not available the standard text interface (using
+rpm).
+.IP "\fB\-a\fP"
+if multiple packages match the substring given, take them all
+.IP "\fB\-m\fP"
+choose minimun closure of requires (this is the default). This is a relatively
+slow algorithm that tries to minimize the number of package to upgrade
+to only what is really necessary.
+.IP "\fB\-M\fP"
+choose maximal closure of requires. This is the fastest algorithms that try to
+upgrade all requires if they can be upgraded.
+.IP "\fB\-c\fP"
+if maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed mey have wrong or not
+up-to-date dependancies. This cause more package to be upgraded and may correct
+unresolved dependancies on the rpm database.
+.IP "\fB\-p\fP"
+allow search in provides to find package.
+.IP "\fB\-q\fP"
+proposes a quiet mode when calling rpm where no upgrade status are printed.
+.IP "\fB\-v\fP"
+proposes a verbose mode with various messages.
