It'll work. The proper place to to this is install() method in python scripts, but you should also handle the case when install() method called multiple times.
Nevertheless, using rpm/deb packages is the best choice here.

The installer we have is self extracting archive. Is it a good idea if we write the installer script to download and install this already available install package. Or we do have to create linux distribution packages in the form of rpm or deb? -Priyanka
