Where does LC lay its eggs?

On Macintosh, as a Mac app is a seemingly monolithic folder disguised as an executable it is dead easy to locate all its 'bits and bobs',
and on Windows that is also sometimes possible.
On Linux things are very different.
When I install LC on a Linux box the thing goes "whizz, bang, pop" and the LC icon turns up in the apps menu (very convenient), but
'where the fudge' the components are is anybody's guess.
Presumably that is why Paul issued his first offering as an appimage.
Just today I popped Terry's version of 'LC 963 Community Continuation' on a Linux box of mine, and wanted to put the LC Linux engine into the decompressed folder in place of the Windows .exe. file . . . but, of course, I hadn't a clue where to look.
