officially it is /usr/bin,applications distributed as rpm or deb packages are usually installed there.
for applications built from tar balls, better install it to /local/bin. [va (10-9 14:42, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]2楼

Actually you can install to almost anywhere in your local systembut as DJay said, /usr/local/bin is usually the default directory.[香陵居士 (10-10 14:18, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]5楼
