Install a program on Linux from desktop?

I tried: rpm -Uvh wireless-tools-28-1.ppc64.rpm
Again i need to add the desktops path into this install line.
Right now it keeps saying no such file or dir.
If i use the installer it says already installed, i need to force this install.
Sorry i am a newbie to Linux so please detailed explanation please.

I believe the path to the desktop is /root/Desktop, not 100 percent sure, had that problem too once, hope it works
if it says already installed hit F2 and type wireless tools or wireless-tools
have you used Synaptic? what distro are you using?
