Where is my Installed RMP?
 

Hi, thanks for advance for the answer to all experts, I would like to know, when you Install an RPM, where is the executable file to run the program? and how do you run it?

to find out the exact path to the app type:

$ whereis <appname>

to start the app simply type the app's name on the cli

$ appname

If you're liucky it will also show up in the applications menu of tyour desktop environment (gnome, kde, ...)

You can also run This shows the location of all the files from an rpm you installed. The problem with this is that you can have a lot of output, so you may have to pipe the output to less, more or most.

cool, thanks a lot
