Cant find app location

Question

I installed A app called Tuxpaint But when I looked for it I could not find it. I know it installed because on the Lubuntu Software Center It showed up on installed Packages. Because I can't find the location I can not use the app.

use the command: $which tuxpaint pls note tuxpaint also has a config-directory, and file septate from the app installation directory. — j0h, Sep 09 '15 at 01:08

You can use the command in the terminal find for searching an folder:

find / -name tuxpaint

or you can be more accurate in your research by specify an repertory

find /usr/ -name tuxpaint

Open a terminal and run any of these commands to find the location (path):

find `pwd` -name "filename"

readlink -f "filename "

whereis "filename"

which "filename"

sudo find "$(cd ..; pwd)" -name "filename"

sudo find .. -name "filename" -exec readlink -f {} \;

("file name"=tuxpaint)
