If above rpmbuild command is successfull it writes few lines before the end the messages similar to:
Example Copy Code
Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/[Link]
Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/[Link]
Check for the path where [Link] is located as the result of rpmbuild command
above. Use that path in the next command:
Example Copy Code
# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/[Link]
The command above should finish with the message similar to:
Example Copy Code
