    How do I verify application executable after "sudo apt install..." I understand that

    sudo apt install

    installs "package" and not an executable. I am unable to start the installed application since during "install" and I have no indication where it is being installed.

      Since we have no idea what you installed it is difficult to give an answer. You should check the output from the install to see what happened. You can also use the list sub-command to check what has been installed.

        Further to what Richard has said, you can check which files were installed with dpgk -L <package> Unless you've installed a doc or lib package, you've almost certainly got an executable somewhere.

        Keep Calm and Carry On
