Looking into the installer script -- it's the same file whether you
select rpm or deb on the download. If you look at the script you'll
see that it makes a selection based on the package manager(s) it
finds on your system -- looking first for "dpkg".
if [ "$(which dpkg 2> /dev/null)" != '' ];then
PKG=deb
elif [ "$(which rpm 2> /dev/null)" != '' ];then
PKG=rpm
Do you happen to have the dpkg package manager installed -- perhaps
from EPEL? If so, you should be able to modify the installer script
to alter that selection to make it give you the rpm package
installation options. [you may need to alter more than one thing -
that was the most obvious one.]
