When you ask \TeX\ to use a certain class or package, it usually looks for the necessary files in so-called |texmf| trees. These trees are simply huge directories that contain these files. By default, \TeX\ looks for files in three different |texmf| trees:
\begin{itemize}
\item
- The root |texmf| tree, which is usually located at |/usr/share/texmf/|, |/usr/local/texlive/texmf/|, |c:\texmf\|, or |c:\texlive\texmf\|.
