If you choose to install Topoly with administrative privileges then everything will be installed in: /usr/local/

Please note that after the installation it is necessary to add the folder that contains libraries

## Installation as DEB, RPM, ZIP

Topoly is also distributed as a DEB, RPM and ZIP package.

DEB and RPM packages install the package to /usr, so binaries should be found in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib and the documentation in /usr/share/doc

If you choose to install Topoly from a ZIP package please make sure that the libraries from the lib subfolder are placed in a folder that is listed in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The Python wrappers are built as module extensions and therefore they require that the lib subfolder should be added to your PYTHONPATH variable.
