| 
								 | 
							
								distribution archive file for your operating system. You can install

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Logtalk in any directory that you find convenient.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								See the user manual for a description of the source files organization
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and for installing/using instructions (to read the user manual open the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								file manuals/index.html with a web browser).
