hi,  
for test purpose, I would like to install on the same server `serverA` two different Elasticsearch version.  
Currently, I have version 6.8.9 and I want a second instance with version 7.7.

My first instance has been installed with the rpm method. What should I use to install the second instance avoiding overwrite of folders (`/etc/elasticsearch` and `/usr/share/elasticsearch`)?
