here are two ways:

$ mkdir rpmtemp
$ sudo yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=./rpmtemp install <package>
$ sudo rpm -Uvh ./rpmtemp/*.rpm
$ sudo rm -rf rpmtemp

or

$ mkdir rpmtemp
$ sudo yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=./rpmtemp install <package>
$ sudo yum localinstall ./rpmtemp/*.rpm
$ sudo rm -rf rpmtemp
