But I don't have all the folders above:
werner@X10DAi:~$ ~/.emacs.d/auctex
bash: /home/werner/.emacs.d/auctex: No such file or directory
werner@X10DAi:~$ /usr/local/var/auctex
bash: /usr/local/var/auctex: No such file or directory

Yes. See all settings below on my Ubuntu 20.04 box:
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t ; parse on load
TeX-auto-save t ; parse on save
;; use hidden dirs for auctex files
TeX-auto-local ".auctex-auto"
TeX-style-local ".auctex-style"
TeX-source-correlate-mode t
TeX-source-correlate-method 'synctex
;; don't start the emacs server when correlating sources
TeX-source-correlate-start-server nil
;; automatically insert braces after sub/superscript in math mode
TeX-electric-sub-and-superscript t
;; just save, dont ask me before each compilation
TeX-save-query nil)

I am still not very clear about its working mechanism. Any more hints?
