send a pm to the extension maintainers to ask if they could update it - see the info file for details

The info file is what you see when you click on a extension in Apps tool.
It contains information about the maintainer ( Extension_by: ... ).
You might send her/him a personal message asking for an update of the extension.

Copying to  /usr/local/bin/  won't survive a reboot as that is filesystem in RAM.
You need to make an extension out of it, then copy the .tcz to  /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/upgrade .
