using sed to replace help

Hi,

i am following content in file
Code:
cat file

Install Installation-path variable

Now i need to replace Installation-path with some text to be provided as argument in csh script invocation

My question is , can i replace this by only using path
eg.
Code:
sed "s/path/$1" file

but it replaces only path, can i replace the whole word installation-path by any method.
