You did ask for the best way, which is to build packages for your operating
system, then use your operating system's package manager to install them and
keep track of different versions. This way, you can be sure that the right
files are installed, that old versions are cleanly deleted (unless there's an
error in the post-installation script, in which case it's a bug) and you can
use the package manager to find out what files are installed and where they
reside.

You can then upgrade or downgrade simply by installing a different version of
the package.

FreeSWITCH supports building Debian packages, and there is also support for
Centos and Fedora.
