In typesetting software, TeX Directory Structure (TDS) is a directory hierarchy for macros, fonts, and the other implementation-independent TeX system files. The top-level directories are

Directory | Description

|

`tex` | TeX files (including LaTeX and other macro packages)
`bibtex` | BibTeX files
`doc` | user documentation
`fonts` | font-related files
`metafont` | METAFONT files
`metapost` | MetaPost files
`scripts` | platform-independent executables
`source` | sources

TDS is used by several TeX distributions, including teTeX, TeX Live and MiKTeX.
