How to Check Installed NI Software on My Linux Desktop Running RHEL?

Updated Jan 12, 2026

Environment

I am using RHEL as an operating system on which NI Software is installed. I want to check what NI software is installed there.

On RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), you can list all installed packages using the following command:

rpm -qa

Alternatively, if you are using DNF (the newer package manager for RHEL 8 and later), you can use:

dnf list installed

Sample of running command rpm -qa

Sample of running command dnf list installed

You can filter packages by name using either rpm or dnf:

rpm -qa | grep <package_name> or dnf list installed | grep <package_name>
