Install RPM packages with non-root account

Recently, I need to install RPM to RedHat Linux, but I don't have root access.  I found this post: http://ajaya.name/?p=6353.  However, some commands in the command are not correct or need more clarification.  So I wrote down my experience below.

• create file ~/.rpmmacros and add following line
      %_rpmlock_path lib/rpm/__db.000
• Initialize the database by running command:

rpm --initdb \

    --root /home/<user_name>/rpm-local/ \

    --dbpath /home/<user_name>/rpm-local/lib/rpm

• Check the dependence

rpm --root /home/<user_name>/rpm-local/ \
    --dbpath /home/<user_name>/rpm-local/lib/rpm \
    -ivh package.rpm

• Install package

rpm --root /home/<user_name>/rpm-local \
    --dbpath /home/<user_name>/rpm-local/lib/rpm \ 
    --relocate /usr=/home/<user_name>/rpm-local \
    --nodeps \
    -ivh package.rpm
