A graphical representation of the EPrints3 directory structure after executing the install.pl command. Initially the "archives" directory is empty, it is populated when executing (as the eprints user) the "bin/epadmin create" command. The new repository is created using the data in the EPrints_Directory_Structure/eprints3/lib/defaultcfg directory.
