The 'u' in the upgrade command is supposed to be 'U' ie capitalized. Just thought I should point it out.

RPM stands for Redhat Package Manager. It's used by RPM-based Linux distros like
RHEL, Fedora, Suse, & Mandriva Linux etc.,
Just follow what @Sykora has said to install RPM packages in Fedora.

For installing other packages in Fedora Linux , read the Sticky , Click here

Under 'Fedora' Checkout the Stanton Finley Notes.It's has everything you need
to play VCD/DVD, MP3 etc., in Fedora Core 5.
