As there are so many possibilities to install some files on a system, 
depending on questions like whether you want to make a system-wide or user 
installation etc., I think it is impossible to give a general answer. If 
you are the only user on the system I would leave the existing system-wide 
(I presume) 2.19.2 installation alone, to not mess with the CentOS package 
management, unpack the 3.1.2 tarball in a suitable path under my HOME and 
link to the binaries from `~/bin` which is on my PATH.
