# Directories
| Directories | Naming Convention |
| --- | --- |
| Application
location for full software
installation | WINDOWS:
```
{root}\{app}
```
LINUX:
```
{root}/{app}
```
- root = software root
- app = talend application (cmdline/jobserver/runtime/studio/tac/others)
Examples:
Windows
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\tac
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\studio
Linux
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/tac
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/cmdline
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/jobserver |
| Archives
location for local Talend Studio exports | WINDOWS:
```
{root}\Archives\{env}
```
LINUX:
```
{root}/archives/{env}
```
- root = software root; (can be located on a different root from Talend apps)
- env = environment (SBX/DEV/TEST/UAT/PROD)
Examples:
Windows
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\Archives\DEV\
Linux
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/archives/DEV/ |
| Build Release
location for local Talend Studio builds | WINDOWS:
```
{root}\Release\{env}
```
LINUX:
```
{root}/release/{env}
```
- root = software root; (can be located on a different root from Talend apps)
- env = environment (SBX/DEV/TEST/UAT/PROD)
Examples:
Windows
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\Release\DEV\
Linux
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/release/DEV/ |
| Data File Root
preferred root location for
data files & templates | WINDOWS:
```
{drv}:\Data\{prj}\{env}\
{drv}:\Templates\{prj}\{env}\
```
LINUX:
```
/data/{prj}/{env}/
/templates/{prj}/{env}/
```
- drv = disk drive letter
- prj = project name; (additional sub-folders are allowed)
- env = environment (SBX/DEV/TEST/UAT/PROD)
Examples:
Windows
> D:\Data\MyProject\DEV\
> E:\Templates\MyProject\DEV\
Linux
> /data/myProject/DEV/
> /templates/myProject/DEV/ |
| I/O location
preferred location for
data file & templates | WINDOWS:
```
{droot}\{jsvr}\{udef}\
{troot}\{udef}\
```
LINUX:
```
{droot}/{jsvr}/{udef}/
{troot}/{udef}/
```
- droot = data file root (may be located on a different server)
- troot = template file root (may be located on a different server)
- jsvr = job server (optional; helpful when non-shared storage is used)
- udef = user defined folder(s); additional sub-folders are allowed
Examples:
Windows
> D:\Data\MyProject\DEV\JSVR01\MyFILES\
> E:\Templates\MyProject\DEV\MyFILES\
Linux
> /data/myProject/DEV/jsvr01/MyFILES/
> /templates/MyProject/DEV/MyFILES/ |
| Software Root
location for base
software
installation | WINDOWS:
```
{drv}:\Talend\{ver}\
```
LINUX:
```
/opt/talend/{ver}/
```
- drv = disk drive letter
- ver = talend version number
Examples:
Windows
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\
Linux
> /opt/talend/5.6.1/ |
| Workspace
location for local Talend Studio repository | WINDOWS:
```
{root}\Workspace\{env}
```
LINUX:
```
{root}/workspace/{env}
```
- drv = disk drive letter
- env = environment (SBX/DEV/TEST/UAT/PROD)
Examples:
Windows
> C:\Talend\5.6.1\Workspace\DEV\
Linux
