ANPM is a package manager, it installs programs (in the form of RPM's) 
along with all their dependencies. If you had access to the Firefox RPM, 
you would just choose it and click install.

Depending on which version of FF45 you are installing, and I'd advise 
one of my more recent builds of Nightly, you can just unzip it into a 
directory like always and run it from there. Before running, you have to 
install the dependencies listed in the README.OS2 file or 
RPM.REQUIREMENTS, easiest with ANPM, then run as always. Note that it no 
longer needs run! or a script to set LIBPATHSTRICT and BEGINLIBPATH.
