I have installed Virtualbox but I am total newbie of this directory hierarchy. Now I can't find it. The downloaded file is:
virtualbox-5.2_5.2.22-126460_Ubuntu_bionic_amd64.deb. After executed it by double click it installed Virtualbox. Now where should I search for it? Whit find -name "virtualbox*" I can find it in more than few folders:



./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.templates
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.postrm
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.list
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.prerm
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.preinst
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.postinst
./var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-5.2.md5sums
./var/lib/app-info/icons/ubuntu-bionic-updates-multiverse/64x64/virtualbox-qt_virtualbox.png
./var/lib/app-info/icons/ubuntu-bionic-multiverse/64x64/virtualbox-qt_virtualbox.png
./usr/bin/virtualbox
./usr/lib/virtualbox
./usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop
./usr/share/pixmaps/virtualbox.png
./usr/share/lintian/overrides/virtualbox-5.2
./usr/share/mime/packages/virtualbox-5.2.xml


After ton of post and article I am totally discouraged about this Linux installations... Where should I search for the .exe file. ( I know it is not an .exe extension in Linux )

          I assume that you are trying to start VirtualBox: press the Super key (also called the Windows key) and type "virtualbox" - the icon for launching will appear.

          • Well, thank you very much! But where should I find it the hierarchy ? Us I know it should be in opt/ but it is not there.
