Run as root "rpm -Uvh package.rpm" which will upgrade to the new version or install if not installed before. Just read "man rpm" and "rpm --help" for more details. As a beginner you should read documentation in general like http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/ If you have a specific problem it is wise to post exact error message you get. You will get less general answers.
