@cindex directory structure, for @TeX{} files
@cindex skeleton @TeX{} directory
@cindex TDS
This section describes the default installation hierarchy of the
distribution. It conforms to both the GNU coding standards and the
@TeX{} directory structure (TDS) standard. For rationale and further
explanation, please see those documents. The GNU standard is available
as @url{ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/standards/standards.texi} and
mirrors. The TDS document is available from
@file{@var{CTAN:}/tex-archive/tds} (@pxref{unixtex.ftp}).
You can change the default paths in many ways (@pxref{Changing search
paths}). One common desire is to put everything (binaries and all)
under a single top-level directory such as @file{/usr/local/texmf} or
@file{/opt/texmf}---in the terms used below, make @var{prefix} and
@var{texmf} the same. For specific instructions on doing that,
see @ref{configure scenarios}.
Here is a skeleton of the default directory structure, extracted from
the TDS document:
@example
@var{prefix}/ @r{installation root (@file{/usr/local} by default)}
bin/ @r{executables}
man/ @r{man pages}
include/ @r{C header files}

misc/ @r{single-file styles}
@var{pkg}/ @r{name of a package}

@var{mode}/ @r{type of output device (types @samp{pk} and @samp{gf} only)}
@var{supplier}/ @r{name of a font supplier (e.g., @samp{public})}
@var{typeface}/ @r{name of a typeface (e.g., @samp{cm})}

base/ @r{base distribution (e.g., @samp{plain.mf})}
misc/ @r{single-file packages (e.g., @samp{modes.mf})}
@var{pkg}/ @r{name of a package (e.g., @samp{mfpic})}

mft/ @r{@samp{MFT} inputs (e.g., @samp{plain.mft})}
tex/ @r{@TeX{} input files}
@var{format}/ @r{name of a format (e.g., @samp{plain})}
base/ @r{base distribution for @var{format} (e.g., @samp{plain.tex})}
misc/ @r{single-file packages (e.g., @samp{webmac.tex})}

@var{pkg}/ @r{name of a package (e.g., @samp{graphics}, @samp{mfnfss})}
generic/ @r{format-independent packages}

misc/ @r{single-file format-independent packages (e.g., @samp{null.tex}).}
@var{pkg}/ @r{name of a package (e.g., @samp{babel})}
web2c/ @r{implementation-dependent files (@file{.pool}, @file{.fmt}, @file{texmf.cnf}, etc.)}
