Can I install the newer version into a single directory so as to not overwrite any of the previous version and then simply change my search path to prioritize the new version?
The usual procedure for things like this is that stuff installed by the package manager goes in /usr (that is .. /usr/bin, /usr/share, and so on) and stuff installed separately without the package manager goes in /usr/local (that is .. /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share, and so on). Most tarballs, install disks, and the like default to doing exactly this. Therefore, just install it. It will do what you want. Just make sure that /usr/local/bin appears in the $PATH before /usr/bin .
