Folders For Everybody?

[Dark Ninja]

Is there a folder that any user can install to, and any user can access? I'm just wondering, because, I'm having some problems with the installtion of some of these files.

Thank you.

P.S. Also, what is the equivalent of c:\windows\Program Files in Linux?

You could make any directory read-writable with the command chmod.

chmod 777 <directory>

would allow everyone to access.

Most programs install under /usr/local, but most of the time have other files in /etc or /bin. You have to check the man page.
