Overview

RPMĀ® (RPM Package Manager) refers to a software format, the software that the package contains, and the package-management system.

  • Your cPanel & WHM server includes several pre-installed packages and the ability to install more. However, this interface allows you to install a package for the operating-system distribution, rather than the cPanel-provided packages.
  • To troubleshoot any RPM installation failures that may occur, follow the steps in our RPM Installation Failures documentation.
  • For more information about RPMs, visit the RPM website.
    Notes:
    • The interface requires several seconds to load due to the packages that reside on your server.
    • This interface only allows you to install packages that currently reside in your system’s repositories. You cannot install packages from a third-party repository.

Install a distribution package

To install a package, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Provide a partial package name text box, enter the package’s name that you wish to install.
  2. Click Search.
  3. In the search results table, click Install for the package you wish to install.

The interface will display the installation process.
