I'm going to assume, Tim, that you don't have wget - so let me jump in with help on that - Aaron, of course, has been extremely helpful to me on all this.
Go to https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmiperzl/downloads and get the download file there - unzip it into, I think, /QOpenSys/downloads or the like - there's more info at the page at https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmiperzl
I think I'd be right to say that this litmis version of things is the most correct at this time, there are similar downloads at the YIPs site, and they might not be quite the same - I only know that the litmis ones worked for me.
wget and rpm are a couple utilities that get deployed when using the stuff at litmis - then you'll be able to install the stuff that is INSIDE the RPM, as Aaron describes.
I hope this is sufficient to get you on your way - I admit to being a pretty-much-total-noob on this stuff, although I did quite a bit of playing with Debian about 20 years ago - yikes, it's been that long that Linux has been around?
I recommend using things like wgetv and rpmv, to get a preview of what will happen, as well. All part of what's in the litmis download.
Cheers

Great question!
Time for a brief tutorial.
For those that don't now, rpm stands for "Redhat Package Manager".
Whenever I manually install rpm files I look at the ibmichroot project's
code (n1) for the syntax; in short:
$ wget
http://www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS/gnupg2/gnupg2-2.0.26-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
$ rpm --ignoreos --ignorearch --nodeps --replacepkgs -hUv
gnupg2-2.0.26-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
But before you install that you need to install the dependencies
listed on the same page (n2), as shown below.
bzip2
curl >= 7.17.1
gettext
info
libassuan >= 2.0.0
libgcrypt
libgpg-error
libiconv >= 1.14-2
libksba
openldap >= 2.4.23
pth
readline >= 5.2
zlib
When you visit the gnupg2 page (n2) you will see those dependencies listed
with links to each. Do a wget (as shown above) for each of the rpms and
then install them using the aforementioned command, replacing the last
portion with the name of each rpm file.
n1 - http://bit.ly/2dgEK9W
n2 - http://bit.ly/2dgEh7A
[I type this while waiting for my pork steaks to thaw :-)]
On final note, Tony Cairns (IBMer) is working to port YUM to IBM i(n3).
YUM simplifies this process by only requiring you to run the following
command to install gnupg and it will take care of installing the
dependencies:
$ yum install gnupg
n3 - http://bit.ly/yum-is-coming-to-ibmi
Hope that helps,
