Hello Varma

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

-Ensure you have root or sudo privileges on your RHEL 9.2 VM.

-Update your package manager.

sudo dnf update -y

-Install necessary dependencies.

sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y

sudo dnf install wget tar -y

-Use wget or curl to download the tarball from a URL.

Ex: wget http://example.com/path/to/your/software.tar.gz

-Extract the tarball

tar -xvzf software.tar.gz

-Run the configure script

./configure

Note: You may need to specify options for the configure script, depending on the software.

Compile the source code

make

Install the software

sudo make install
