I would just do 

sudo updatedb

then

locate -i mongodb

on ubuntu the installation path will probably be somewhere in the /usr/share path.

To find the path of the application, you can use the which command, followed by the executable that you would have run.

which <commandname>

In here something like 

which mongodb

I think.

Try man which.

Could you perhaps explain a way to use which in this case? – Simon Sheehan Nov 8 '11 at 21:03
