If the program hst had a .gz extension, it is usually installed by
uncompressing it and putting it in /usr/local/bin: that's the most common
location for personally installed widgets that should be available to
everyone on the system.

What program, and what Linux disttribution are you referring to? Most Linux
distributions have some sort of package management for installing binaries
along with their documentation and libraries from a pre-built, binary
bundle. Maybe we can point you to one so that your OS can keep track of what
is put into it.
