Search installed packages with linux rpm command

Posted on December 21st, 2007 by linux

To list all packages installed on your linux RPM ( NOT DEB ) system use rpm command as follows:

rpm -qa | grep <package_name>

where -q is option for query packages and -a is to list them all. This method is just for Red Hat Package management and can not be applied on Debian derived distributions.

Example:

rpm -qa | grep kernel
