# Chapter 3. Locally Installed Modules

## 3.1. Site Directories

The Perl packages must provide a mechanism for the local administrator to install modules under `/usr/local` but must not create or remove those directories.

Modules should be installed to the directories described above in Section 2.3, “Module Path” as `site` (current), programs to `/usr/local/bin` and manual pages under `/usr/local/man`.

## 3.2. Site Installation

The following commands should be sufficient in the majority of cases for the local administrator to install modules and must create directories as required:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make install
