>>> /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/

>>> To actually do the copy, you may need admin privileges.

>>>
>>> cd ~                   # change to home directory
>>> cd Desktop/Downloads   # change to sub-dir for receiving downloads
>>> cd "xypdf Folder"      # need quotes to include the space in the name
>>> sudo cp xy*.tex /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic
>>>
>>> After giving the password, the copy was done.
>>> Now the files are ready to be used.

>>> To use the pdf driver with Xy-pic,

>>> e.g. (LaTeX)
>>> \usepackage[xypdf,all,graph]{xy}
>>>                   ^^^^^
>>>
>>> (non-LaTeX)
>>> \input xy.tex
>>> \xyoption{xypdf}\xyoption{all}\xyoption{graph}
