RPM in linux are like .exe setup files of windows which are there to make  installing an application easier . You can simply double click an rpm file and then system (say Redhat or fedora or mandrake) will first check its dependency , if every thing is fine then it will be installed.

You can also install via command line that is rpm -ivh <packagename>
