Inside TYPO3
2.2. A basic installation
Since we are dealing with the core of TYPO3 it might help us to make a totally trimmed down installation of TYPO3 with only the core - then we can see what is actually left...
First of all the general introduction to the source code file structure is found in the "Installing and Upgrading" document. So I'll not be going into details on that here.
For the coming sections in this document I have made a directory "coreinstall" on the same level as an installation of the source code. The "coreinstall" directory is going to be the base directory of the installation (this path is internally in TYPO3 known as the constant "PATH_site"). This is where the website would run from normally.
