rpm assistance

[Toast2120]

Hey doing RPMs this time.

So lets say I've downloaded the i386 RPM for GIMP and I'm installing from command line (teacher requires it)

from:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

I know I don't have the dependencies so I use "--aid" in the command
rpm {-i} [--aid] xsane-gimp-0.996-3.fc10.i386.rpm

I have also tried
rpm -i --aid xsane-gimp-0.996-3.fc10.i386.rpm
rpm [--aid] {-i} xsane-gimp-0.996-3.fc10.i386.rpm
rpm --aid -i xsane-gimp-0.996-3.fc10.i386.rpm

and other forms of the same command, but all i get are syntax errors
how do i download the needed dependencies then install the package?
do i download those first?

use yum to install software

yum install gimp

this will take care of the ( about 20 ) dependencies needed to run gimp

have you read the output of

rpm --help
 - and -
man rpm

if the dependencies are not in the same folder then they wont install (-aid)
if you are not worried , or do not care about needed dependencies
rpm --nodeps ???.rpm
