Redhat Installs files where?
 

When I install software via an rpm package, where does it put the software?

I'm having some major trouble locating files once they've been installed.

Thanks

Shaun

Most of the time the executable files are placed in /usr/bin
You should be able to start an installed application by doing
ALT + F2 and then type the name of the program into the run_box.

Also when you install something and you don't know what the name of the executable file is, take a look into /usr/bin and generally you'll find what you're looking for.

To see where a specific package places it's files then run rpm -qlp <package>.rpm
This will show a list of files installed and where they end up.
