RPM Wizard is a software that facilitates the installation of RPM packages.
RPM Wizard is a powerful installation program for RPM packages. This software offers an intuitive wizard interface that makes the installation process easy, even for beginners. Its main goal is to become the most user-friendly RPM installation program on the market. RPM Wizard is written in Python and uses the PyQt bindings for the Qt GUI toolkit. Moreover, it's an Open Source software that is available under the GNU General Public License.
One of the most notable features of RPM Wizard is its ease of use. The program doesn't require any previous knowledge of how RPM works. When properly installed, users can just click on an RPM file in the file manager and RPM Wizard will automatically start. The installation is designed to go as smoothly as any Windows installation. If users think that something could be made even easier to use, they can simply drop an email.
Another great feature of RPM Wizard is its automatic dependency handling. This is a common problem when installing RPM packages, and this program tries to solve it automatically by searching a premade database of the content of the distribution CDs. Even when installing from a directory on the hard drive, RPM Wizard can make use of the packages in that directory to satisfy the missing dependencies.
With RPM Wizard, users can also install from a list of distribution packages. When the RPM Wizard database module is installed, users can install packages by simply choosing the package name from a list that only includes packages that are newer than those installed. This saves time and effort, as users no longer have to search through all their distribution CDs to find the package they need.
Another useful feature is the details dialog. This dialog provides a lot of information for those interested in the details, without getting in the way for users who just want to get the installation done quickly. Users can view the files of the package, the size, lists of dependencies and provides, and more.
At the end of the wizard, users are given the option to put a shortcut on all users' desktops (both KDE and Gnome). Additionally, the program can launch the installed program as soon as the user clicks 'Finish'. Overall, RPM Wizard is a highly recommended software for those who require an efficient and user-friendly RPM installation program.
