First, be root.  Then simply type

	rpm

If you get 'command not found', then you got the wrong
file, and should get something like Csound-4.23.tar.gz,
and begin the non-trivial task of getting it to compile.
If the 'rpm' command gives you a screen full of help messages,
then just go:

	rpm -i <your file name here>.rpm

and you are done, and can type csound to begin.
