Version 5.0 The LEDA User Manual

Preparations
To install LEDA you only need to execute the LEDA distribution file
LEDA---win32-.exe. During setup you can choose
the name of the LEDA root directory and the parts of LEDA you want to install.
Then you have to set the environment variable LEDAROOT as follows:
1. Windows NT/2000/XP: On these platforms LEDARROOT is set automatically to the
directory where you installed LEDA by the setup program.
2. Windows 95/98:
(a) Add the line set LEDAROOT= to the file ”autoexec.bat” where
is the root directory of your LEDA installation, e.g., D:\LEDA-4.4\
(b) Restart Windows 95/98 for the change to take effect.
