I'm not sure what you want to find.  The package management tools can
search for things, or you can use search engines, or wade through reams
of documentation provided by Ubuntu, or even use discussion sites and/or
mailing lists like this one.

Tried "./configfure"

Ran looking good other than this :

Don't worry about that just now.  Did you continue building ClamAV
from source or did you go with the packaged version?  If you do both,
they may fight with each other so I don't recommend it.  If you only
build the source, but don't install it (which you would have to do as
the root user, so it's something you'd know you'd done), if you then
install the package version there's no problem with them fighting but
the version built from source won't do much except use up disc space.

Some one else said to look in the "distro's package manager"

Not certain what that is.

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/package-management

For a newcomer to Linux, using the package manager is by far the
safest and easiest way to install things, but you do pay the prices
that (a) you get what the package maintainer packaged and (b) it might
be a little out of date - sometimes a lot out of date.
