Where does Linux copy binary?

4 Answers. In general, if a non-system installed and maintained binary needs to be accessible system-wide to multiple users, it should be placed by an administrator into /usr/local/bin . There is a complete hierarchy under /usr/local that is generally used for locally compiled and installed software packages.
