27Mesa is distributed in several parts:

29<ul>
30<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
31 and documentation.
32</li>
33<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
34 Most of the programs require GLUT (either the

46If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
47package.
48</p>

50<p>
51The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
52Other organizations might offer additional package formats.
