Windows generally installs applications in C:\Program File\<application name> In Linux and Unix, application executables are normally installed in /usr/bin with application libraries in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64). Additionally, some systems may be installed in /opt. Additionally, if installing an application from a tarball, that application is normally installed in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib (or lib64). Normally if you use Yum or RPM, then /usr/bin is the normal place. Additionally, if you want to find out where an executable is, use the whereis(1) command as an example: [gaf@gaf ~]$ whereis firefox firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib64/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
