# Configuration
_presenterm_ allows you to customize its behavior via a configuration file. This file is stored, along with all of your
custom themes, in the following directories:
* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/presenterm/` if that environment variable is defined, otherwise:
* `~/.config/presenterm/` in Linux.
* `~/Library/Application Support/presenterm/` in macOS.
* `~/AppData/Roaming/presenterm/config/` in Windows.
The configuration file will be looked up automatically in the directories above under the name `config.yaml`. e.g. on
Linux you should create it under `~/.config/presenterm/config.yaml`. You can also specify a custom path to this file
when running _presenterm_ via the `--config-file` parameter or the `PRESENTERM_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable.
A [sample configuration file](https://github.com/mfontanini/presenterm/blob/master/config.sample.yaml) is provided in
the repository that you can use as a base.
# Configuration schema
A JSON schema that defines the configuration file's schema is available to be used with YAML language servers such as
[yaml-language-server](https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server).
Include the following line at the beginning of your configuration file to have your editor pull in autocompletion
suggestions and docs automatically:
```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mfontanini/presenterm/master/config-file-schema.json
```
