You can use the following command in Linux to view the location of yum installation packages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, use the “yum list” command to view the list of installed software packages. This command will display all installed software packages along with their version information.<\/li>\n
  2. Find the package that you want to view the location of, and copy its name.<\/li>\n
  3. Use the command rpm -ql to find the installation location of a software package. Replace with the name of the package you are looking for the location of.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, to check the location of the installation package httpd, you can execute the following command:<\/p>\n

    yum list\r\nrpm -ql httpd\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
