RPM Install the software into a non-default place

When installing, please specify the following options.

--relocate
--badreloc

Example:
[user@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh --relocate /=/usr/local/archaea_tools --badreloc bytix-archaea-tools-1.5.0-35.el9.x86_64.rpm

You can go to use clients without any such changes.

When uninstalling, you just make it in a normal way with specifying package names.

Do not specify --relocate and --badreloc.

Example:
[user@localhost ~]$ sudo rpm -e bytix-archaea-tools

When commands are installed on non-default place, their help options (-V) shows the following information about the place.
