On this quick article I will explain how did I create my first RPM package under the ArcaOS platform. I was used to create some WarpIn installers and I felt that it was interesting to use RPM since it provides a single repository where the users can select which software to install.

Software Requirements
To create my first installer I used the following software:
- ArcaOS 5.0.1
- RPM and YUM installed on the machine (If you are using ArcaOS it is already installed).
- Arca Noae Package Manager 1.02, just to review my package once it is created

- rpm-build
- os2-rpm-build
You can install all at once with one command:
yum install rpm-build os2-rpm-build
