RPM Package Manager (originally Red Hat Package Manager, abbreviated RPM) in the context of package management refers to two things: a software package file format, and the original tool developed to manage those packages. RPM was intended primarily for Linux. The package management tool RPM installs, updates, uninstalls, verifies and queries software. The file format RPM is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base.
Originally developed by Red Hat for Red Hat Linux, RPM is now used by many Linux distributions. It has also been ported to some other operating systems such as Novell NetWare (since version 6.5 SP3) and IBM AIX since version 5, see RPM homepage for all supported platforms.
"RPM", as it is used today, is an example of a recursive acronym.
