Ubuntu  which is a Debian derivative  follows a very precise structure when installing packages   In other words  all software installed through the packaging tools  such as apt-get or synaptic  will put the stuff in the same locations   If you become familiar with these locations  you ll always know where to find your stuff     As a short cut  you can always open a tool like synaptic  find the installed package  and inspect the  properties    Under properties  you ll see a list of all installed files   Again  you can expect these to always follow the Debian Ubuntu conventions  these are highly ordered Linux distributions   IN short  binaries will be in  usr bin  or some other location on your path   try  echo  PATH  on the command line to see the possible locations     Configuration is always in a subdirectory of  etc   And the  home  is typically in  usr lib or  usr share       For instance  according to http   www mkyong com maven how-to-install-maven-in-ubuntu   maven is installed like        The Apt-get installation will install   all the required files in the   following folder structure       usr bin mvn       usr share maven2        etc maven2      P S The Maven configuration is store   in  etc maven2   Note  it s not just apt-get that will do this  it s any  deb package installer

I would like to add that  m2 folder a lot of people say it is in your home folder  It is right  But if use maven from ready to go IDE like Spring STS then your  m2 folder  is placed in root folder  To access root folder you need to switch to super user account  sudo su  Go to root folder   cd root   You will find it by  cd -all

Depends on what you are looking for  If you are looking for the executable      whereis mvn   If you are looking for the libs and repo      locate maven   With the locate command  you could also pipe it to grep to find a particular library  i e     locate maven   grep  jetty    HTH
