I think the easiest way is to open a terminal, navigate to the downloads folder
$ cd ~/Downloads
and then
$ sudo dnf install NAME_OF_RPM.rpm
differences about rpm -Uvh foo.rpm and sudo dnf foo.rpm . The main , dnf resolves dependency problems ,more here
$ cd $HOME/Downloads
To install for the first time use:
$ su -c "rpm -ihv your_file.rpm"
Or you can update an older version using:
$ su -c "rpm -Uhv your_file.rpm"
Typically there is no big difference between su and sudo, you can find more details here . However, su forces you to share your root password to other users whereas sudo makes it possible to execute system commands without root password. By adding the -c to the su command there will be no big difference between sudo and su -c as I said before, and as a fedora user I prefer su -c
