(I don't know whether rpm skips > not-installed packages and proceeds with the rest of arguments though) Yes, -F skips "not-installed packages" and proceeds with everything that would be an update. > Personally I find "install"/"update" naming more readable than "-Uvh"/"-Fvh". -U is short for --upgrade -F is short for --freshen (and sometimes users mistake it for --force) -v is fully optional --verbose output and same as as dnf -v/--verbose -h is fully optional --hash progress output Whether to write "install", "--install" or "-i" is pureley cosmetic.
