 In almost all cases, new material that you install should go into the
 "local" tree of your (La)TeX installation.  (A discussion of

 You can ask such a system where it believes a local tree should be:
-```latex
+<code bash>
 kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL
-```

 the output being the actual path, for example (on the workstation this
 author is using today):
-```latex
+<code bash>
 /usr/local/share/texmf

 In a MiKTeX installation, the location will in fact typically be
 something you specified yourself when you installed MiKTeX in the
 first place, but you may find you need to create one.  The MiKTeX
-"Settings" window (

+FIXME Ce n'est plus vrai, MiKTeX propose maintenant de s'installer sous ''C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs''.
 So the real criterion is that your local tree should be somewhere that
-_you_, rather than the system, control.  Restrictive systems often
+//you//, rather than the system, control.  Restrictive systems often
 provide a "home directory" for each user, mounted as a network
 drive; this is a natural home for the user's local tree.  Other (often
 academic) environments assume the user is going to provide a memory

 You might not wish to use the 'local' tree:
+  * if the package, or whatever, is "personal" (for example, something commercial that has been licensed to you alone, or something you're developing yourself), it should go in your [[FAQ-privinst|"home" TEXMF tree]];
+  * if you //know// that the package you are installing is a replacement for the copy on the TEXMF tree of your (La)TeX distribution; in this case it is reasonable to replace the existing copy in the TEXMF tree.

 If the system is upgraded (or otherwise re-installed), a copy made in
 the TEXMF tree will probably be overwritten or deleted.  This
 may be what you want, but otherwise it's a powerful incentive to use a

 The reason one might place upgrades the distribution's main tree is to
