From terminal, root

Install a package
rpm –ivh packagename
upgrade a package
rpm –Uvh packagename

you can find out what the switches mean by doing a rpm --help from the command line.

From the terminal, change in to the directory where you've downloaded the rpm, e,g,:
Code:

cd ~/Downloads
Then use pkcon to install the package:
Code:

pkcon install-local ./downloaded-package.rpm

using zypper:

zypper in packagename.rpm
or upgrade:
Code:

zypper in --force packagename.rpm

Install file browser from jolla store. You can install .rpm files and .apk files easily. ;)
