## Application Installation

### Commands

<Warning>
  Consult the documentation for the package manager of your operating system for specific options and command-line syntax.
</Warning>

## RPM Installation

Use this command to install the Ocient RPM package from the local file system. Include `./` or specify the full path to the RPM file; otherwise, the `dnf` command attempts to search the configured repositories instead of installing the local RPM file.  In the following command example, replace `XX` with the Ocient package version of the provided file.

```shell Shell theme={null}
sudo dnf install ./ocient-XX-x86_64.rpm
```

## DEB Installation

Use this command to install the Ocient DEB package from the local file system.  Include `./` or specify the full path to the DEB file, otherwise the `apt` command attempts to search the configured repositories instead of installing the local DEB file.  In the following command example, replace `XX` with the Ocient package version of the provided file.

```shell Shell theme={null}
sudo apt install ./ocient-XX-amd64.deb
```

## Next Step
