Checking for installed packages and if not found install

Question

I need to check for installed packages and if not installed install them.

Example for RHEL, CentOS, Fedora:

rpm -qa | grep glibc-static
glibc-static-2.1         


        

Answer 1

Try the following code :

if ! rpm -qa | grep -qw glibc-static; then
    yum install glibc-static
fi

or shorter :

rpm -qa | grep -qw glibc-static || yum install glibc-static

For debian likes :

dpkg -l | grep -qw package || apt-get install package

For archlinux :

pacman -Qq | grep -qw package || pacman -S package
