I try to build rpm package. I follow here.

I want to run a script (bash or python) when run command as "rpm -Uvh mytest-1.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm" .

Could run a script when install a rpm package? How?

From the RPM Guide:

Defining installation scripts:

RPM supports a script run prior to installation, %pre, and a script run after installation, %post. The same concepts apply when a package is erased, or uninstalled. The %preun script is run just before the uninstall and the %postun script just after the uninstal

So, use the %pre section if you want to run the script right before the package is installed or the %post section if you want to run it after the package is installed.
