The source code package is only distributed for unix installation (see section Platforms for details). In this subsection we use leda-root-path to denote the path name of the LEDA main directory (in the source code package the name usually consists of the prefix LEDA followed by the version number, for instance LEDA-3.7.1). It should contain the following files and subdirectories:
| README | information about LEDA |
| INSTALL | this file |
| CHANGES (please read !) | most recent changes |
| FIXES | bug fixes since last release |
| Manual/ | user manual |
| Makefile | make script |
| confdir/ | configuration directory |
| lconfig | configuration command |
| incl/ | include directory |
| src/ | source files |
| test/ | example and test programs |
| demo/ | demo programs |
