Changing the Location during Installation
Without any argument, the installation will be made into the directory intended by the package creator. To change the destination, use
--prefix NEWPATH
that works for relocatable binary packages, where NEWPATH will be the new installation prefix. The package builder must first design their package to give users this freedom.
To find whether a package is relocatable or not:
rpm -qi <pagckage-name> | grep Relocations
Updating a Package
Removing a Package
rpm -e <package-name>
