The Traffic Manager software installation directory (referred to throughout this documentation as ZEUSHOME) varies depending on whether you install a virtual machine instance or software variant on an EC2 Linux or UNIX instance.

For EC2, Rackspace, and Azure instances:

```bash
/opt/zeus
```

For a software installation:

```bash
/usr/local/zeus
```
