## 15. Why don’t the pathnames in your documentation match the package I installed?

Each distribution has conventions for where specific file types should be stored. The NUT project cannot possibly track all of these conventions, so the documentation assumes the default installation directory prefix of `/usr/local/ups` when describing file locations. It also allows custom builds of NUT to minimally conflict with files of a packaged installation.

The distributions tend not to change the base name of the files, so you can search for drivers and configuration files in the package database of installed files. For instance, on Debian or Ubuntu derivatives, you can use `dpkg --search usbhid-ups` to see where the drivers are stored.
