Software installation

In RPM based Linux, the software usually tends to install in /usr or /usr/local or even /opt.
RPM and DEB packages will automatically install the software in whatever directory they are supposed to go.
You can put tar balls anywhere you want, but be careful. It is always a good idea to put your 3rd party software in /opt.
For more info read this.
