So you downloaded an rpm and need to install it locally. Download the file. Move the file to wherever you want to place your rpm files. I simply named mine rpms. In terminal, cd to your rpm directory.
cd rpms
yum localinstall whatever_the_file_name_fc18.x86_64.rpm
This comes in handy when you don't want to install an entire repository that you probably only need one file from. The downside is you want to make sure you already have all the dependencies, otherwise you need to download them and install them as well.
My Linux skills have been limited to a basic install, and getting around in the system. I've recently decided to take the O.S. more seriously and become a full time user and more of a Linux hobbyist. This is a place for me to post notes, and other helpful information. The information here is centered around Fedora and KDE but I do post about other GNU/Linux distributions. You can find useful notes, book reviews, tutorials, videos, and whatever else I think will be useful for learning this O.S.
