Slackware is a Linux based system, using the GNU tool chain, which is all based on the Unix model. You should spend about 10 minutes becoming familiar with the
file system hiearchy.
Generally, all executable files are stored in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/sbin. Some executables are stored in /opt.
Generally, the system equivalent of DLLs usually are stored in /usr/lib.
Most system configuration files are stored in /etc.
User account files are stored somewhere in /home.

In Slackware, open a command terminal and as root, type pkgtool.
Slackware is not a typical operating system where everything is point-and-click. Read a lot and ask a lot of questions.
