.. _Configuration:

Configuration
=============

The configuration for **lnav** is stored in the following JSON files in
:file:`~/.lnav`:

* :file:`config.json` - Contains local customizations that were done using the
  :code:`:config` command.
* :file:`configs/default/*.json` - The default configuration files that are
  built into lnav are written to this directory with :file:`.sample` appended.
  Removing the :file:`.sample` extension and editing the file will allow you to
  do basic customizations.
* :file:`configs/installed/*.json` - Contains configuration files installed
  using the :code:`-i` flag (e.g. :code:`$ lnav -i /path/to/config.json`).
* :file:`configs/*/*.json` - Other directories that contain :file:`*.json`
  files will be loaded on startup.
