Check the Documentation that comes with the program, it should tell you how to install.

Look for an install script or README file. What files do you see on the CD? Run the file command on any files to see if it is an RPM file.

The Red Hat Linux software packages are provided in RPM format, so you can install the packages using RPM.

rpm -ivh Test-1.0-1.i586.rpm

If the following text is displayed,installation is successful.

Test           #######################################

for more info man rpm
