The AOL Instant Messenger (SM) software is distributed as a Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) file.
To install AIM onto your computer:
rpm -i aim-1.1-8
where 1.1-8 represents the AIM version number.
By default, the system installs AIM in the /Application/Internet group.
To install a higher version of AIM, use the rpm upgrade option (for example, rmp -U aim-1.1-9.i386.rpm).
Note: If you do not want to use the command line option to install AIM, you can use any RPM software such as the Red Hat gnorpm tool.
