Hi,
1.
in entering "mscore" the package "Musescore" really opened in my MATE
Terminal
2.
That's why peeking in the /{s,}bin directories is helpful.
In my /bin folder there is only one sh (script/programm). Nothing else.
So, in what folder should I look to find the binary names?
Or with which command I can check?
I have got Guix SD
3.
If I enter:
~ λ ls $(guix build musescore)/bin
than the package "musescore" will be downloaded, but it doesn’t show the
name "mscore"
thanks for help
Kind regards
Gottfried

Hi Gottfried,
The project (≈package) named 'musescore' distributes a binary (≈command) named
'mscore':
~ λ ls $(guix build musescore)/bin
mscore
Don't ask me why they didn't call it 'musescore', but in general package names
do not map 1:1 to binary names. That's why peeking in the /{s,}bin directories
is helpful.
An obvious example is 'coreutils', which provides most of the commands you use
daily, but none named 'coreutils'.
Kind regards,
