what type of file format is it? I mean does the file end in a *.rpm or *.tgz file.

Installing rpm type the following rpm -ivh <rpmfiletoinstall> this will install the file onto your box. To Upgrade type rpm -Uvh <rpmfiletoinstall>. To erase from the system type rpm -e <rpmfiletoinstall>. Freshen the current files u have type rpm -Fvh <rpmfiletoinstall>.
