When doing

apt-get install <service-name>

or

services are automatically installed. How to find exact path where any service is installed and their configuration files??

Answer 1

There are quite a few ways to find this but I usually prefer following

whereis <service-name>
e.g whereis java

and to find from which path program is using, I use

which <service-name>
e.g which java
