  1. Here are some options:

    1. Search in the system PATH for the executable you want to run
    2. Allow the user to specify the location on the command-line
    3. Store the location in a configuration file, and allow the user to specify it during install (if you have an install process) or by editing the file by hand

    Ideally you’d do all 3
