2. Use the option --prefix to install gcc to another directory other than the default one. The toplevel installation directory defaults to /usr/local. Read about gcc installation options
Update:
Often people want the most recent version of gcc, and devtoolset is being kept up-to-date, so maybe you want devtoolset-N where N={4,5,6,7...}, check yum for the latest available on your system). Updated the cmds below for N=7.
There is a package for gcc-7.2.1 for devtoolset-7 as an example. First you need to enable the Software Collections, then it's available in devtoolset-7:
You can use the centos-sclo-rh-testing repo to install GCC v7 without having to compile it forever, also enable V7 by default and let you switch between different versions if required.
