Documentation about the LyX system directory
Note: Under construction, please add information.
The location of the LyX system directory depends on how LyX has been installed. Here are some common alternatives:
/usr/local/share/lyx/
C:\Program Files\LyX14\Resources\
- ??? (windows?) winXP and LyX1.4.2: ..../lyX14/Resources
In order to find out, you can always execute LyX from a command prompt like this:
lyx -version
and then look at the last line:
LyX files dir: /pkg/lyx/1.3.2qt/share/lyx
The system directory should contain the following subdirectories:
bind/- standard keybinding files (keyboard shortcuts)
clipart/-
doc/-
examples/-
help/- online help documents
images/-
kbd/-
layouts/- standard layout files (see Concepts)
lyx2lyx/-
reLyX/-
scripts/-
templates/- template files (accessed with File>New from Template)
:tex/
ui/- user interface (menu and toolbar) definition files
xfonts/-
and the following files:
chkconfig.ltx-
configure-
configure.cmd-
CREDITS-
encodings-
external_templates-
languages-
lyxrc.defaults-
lyxrc.example-
:packagees.lst.
symbols-
textclass.lst-
WinXP and LyX1.4.2: the files
:packages.lst.
textclass.lst-
are in the hidden directory
"....\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Username\Anwendungsdaten\LyX1.4.2\"
until you add the lyx calling switch
-sysdir ....\LyX14\Resources
in the "lyx.bat" at the lyx command line.
