Your Question: Where Are Libraries Installed Ubuntu?

Where is a library installed Ubuntu?

By default, libraries are located in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/lib64, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64; system startup libraries are in /lib and /lib64. Programmers can, however, install libraries in custom locations. The library path can be defined in /etc/ld.

Where does Linux install libraries?

You have two main options for where to put the library: /usr/local (libraries under /usr/local/lib , headers under /usr/local/include ). This installs the libraries systemwide and is probably the simplest solution, since you should then be able to build against them without taking any extra steps.
