You can use the rpm -ivh *
or
rpm -ivh pack1.rpm pack2.rpm

For packages by redhat, use the --aid option, like

rpm -ivh pack1.rpm --aid

This assumes that all the dependency packages of pack1.rpm are in the
current directory, and also the rpmdb-redhat package is already installed.
The rpmdb-redhat pakage contains the database of all redhat packages. For
--aid option to work, this must be installed.
