.TH urpmi 8 "12 Feb 2002" "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 authorizes well-known rpms (or rpm files) to be installed including
all their dependencies.
You can use it to install source package dependencies too as root, or source
package itself as simple user.
You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get
.PP
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 (this is the same as \fB-h\fP or \fB-?\fP).

\fB--update\fP is used).
.IP "\fB\--auto\fP"

.IP "\fB\--fuzzy\fP"

package containing the name even if one has the given name (this is the same
as \fB\-y\fP).
.IP "\fB\--src\fP"
next package name is a source package and it will select all dependencies if
\fBurpmi\fP is run as root or only install source package as simple user (this
is the same as \fB\-s\fP).
.IP "\fB\--noclean\fP"
do not remove any package from the cache (/var/cache/urpmi/rpms).
