Finding the path to .lyx directory in order to install a package
I'm trying to use the PGFPlots package in order to create some graphs on LyX. I'm following this tutorial (link). It told to insert usepackage{pgfplots} in the Latex Preamble section, so I did. Also I entered the following code in a TeX box:
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{axis}
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
But it shows nothing. So I guess the package is not installed and I have to install it. After some research, I understood that I need to find the .lyx directory and insert the package into the modules directory. But how can I find the .lyx directory? I tried to check the home directory ~ but didn't find it there. Is it possible to somehow find the path to that directory?
