To install the RPM package, download the rpm-4.2.lpp.tar package file and install as follows (assumes the file was downloaded to the /tmp/rpm directory):
$ /bin/su
# cd /tmp/rpm
# tar xf rpm-4.2.lpp.tar
# installp -acqQ -d /tmp/rpm/TWW.rpm42.bff TWW.rpm42
Once the RPM package has been installed, the database must be initialized. Either the default RPM database or a custom RPM database can be used. To initialize the database (where "/opt/TWWfsw/.rpmdb " might be the custom database path):
$ /bin/su
# [mkdir /opt/TWWfsw/.rpmdb]
# /opt/TWWfsw/bin/rpm [--dbpath /opt/TWWfsw/.rpmdb] --initdb
