How to find the location of my Grunt package via CLI command?

Question

I am trying to find the location of my grunt package, but when I run:

where grunt

I get the following error message:

No command 'where' found, did you mean:
Command 'gwhere' from package 'gwhere' (universe)
where: command not found

What is the correct command/syntax?

It is not where but which. So

which grunt

will tell you the location of the binary.

The command to locate the binary package is which and the command to locate the binary and manual packages is whereis. So which ls would give

/bin/ls

and whereis ls would give

ls: /bin/ls /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz

where the first argument /bin/ls is the binary file and /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz is the manual page.
