I downloaded proxychains on ubuntu 20.04 recently using
sudo apt install proxychains
Now for configuring the proxy addresses, I cannot find the /etc/proxychains.conf file.
What to do now? Any terminal command that can be of help??

First, make sure the proxychains files are indexed by the
locate command
sudo updatedb
Once updatedb completes, use the locate command to see the location of the .conf file.
locate proxychains
Finally, use the command to access the configuration
sudo nano /etc/proxychains.conf
Are you running the command on root? It seems like the proxy chain command when run on the root, cannot locate the proxy config file. To anybody who is having this trouble, try running proxy chain command in Terminal Emulator.
