The usual procedure for things like this is that stuff installed
by the package manager goes in /usr (that
is .. /usr/bin, /usr/share, and so on) and stuff installed
separately without the package manager goes in /usr/local (that
is .. /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share, and so on). Most
tarballs, install disks, and the like default to doing exactly
this. Therefore, just install it. It will do what you want.
Just make sure that /usr/local/bin appears in the $PATH
before /usr/bin .
