Not too sure what you mean but…
An RPM is normally a binary package of the application or source
I’m not sure hat you mean by Non-RPM installation but they are probably tar balls or source that needs to be configured and compiled. knowing the file extension of the "non rpm file would tell me more"
for installing rpm files.
type
su
(enter root password)
rpm -ivh (rpm file name)
or if you are updating an existing package
rpm -uvh (rpm filename)
