Where is Emacs installed by default on Ubuntu? I need to find its path so I can use it on another application. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and Emacs 24.
Executing the command which emacs
in your terminal should tell you where it is installed.

Thanks. Just edit your question and include that this is a terminal command not one that should be used in Emacs. – Adam Jul 30 '16 at 21:38
emacs
. That will run Emacs, wherever it's installed. The way to run an application is through the PATH variable, and typing a command without any directory name looks it up via this variable. Let this happen, otherwise your application won't work correctly if someone has installed a different version of Emacs in a different location. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jul 31 '16 at 13:22
