Steps/Command to know installed software in UNIX
one can know the installed softwares from control panel in windows. Similarly what is the UNIX command or any steps to know the installed software in UNIX
There is no command in UNIX that will directly tell you that. Many applications or packages are just copied into and run from a certain directory so there is no central "registration" done.
There might be a way to display certain types of software, but that does depend upon which UNIX type and version you are running.
