You must have root privileges to install HP Caliper for Linux.
After downloading the RPM file, use the rpm command to install:

By default, HP Caliper for Linux is installed in the /opt/hp-caliper/ directory.
You can install the application in a different location with this command:

where newpath is the path to the desired location.
After installing to the non-default location, you must add this to your $PATH

For the default installation, you would add this:
/opt/hp-caliper/bin
Installing the DEB Package for Debian Distributions
Once you have downloaded the DEB for HP Caliper for Linux (approximately 65
megabytes), you can install this using the following command:
$ dpkg --install path-of-DEB-file
Installing a package with dpkg requires root permissions to write to the database.
The default installation directory is /opt/hp-caliper.
The HP Caliper executable resides in install_dir/bin. For ease of use, this directory
should be added to your PATH environment variable. A full directory tree under this
