How To
Summary
On IBM i OS r7.2 and later, when using IBM i Access Client Solutions (IBM i ACS) Open Source Package Management or the YUM infrastructure to install an open source package PRM, it is not obvious where the RPM package was installed to. This document describes a way to determine that installed location.
Steps
Technique #1: Use Access Client Solutions
IBM i Access Client Solutions has a "Show Files" button in its Open Source Package Management interface
Technique #2: Use the repoquery tool
Run the command "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/repoquery -ql <package_name>". The following is an example for the python39 package:
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/repoquery -ql python39
This lists the path of files installed by the package. From reviewing that list, it is apparent that python39 is installed to /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.9
