Configuration
Before you run any of the programs, you need to create a file named  in your   directory. You create it in either of two ways:


 * 1) Create the file manually. It needs at least two or three variables configured, and placed in the correct location.
 * 2) Run the script   by entering python pwb.py generate_user_files.py in a command shell, which will interactively generate the file in an interactive "wizard" style, and store it in the default configuration location.

Location
Pywikibot looks for  in the following locations, in order:


 * Specified via the  argument (for example:  )
 * The content of the environment variable
 * The directory in which the  file is
 * In core it checks the  directory in the application data directory (Windows) or home directory (that directory gets automatically created)

Below are instructions for manually editing this file.

For Wikimedia projects
Open a text editor (e.g. Notepad in Windows) and save the text file as  in the   folder.

If your language uses non-ASCII characters, you should use a Unicode-aware editor such as Notepad++ and save your user-config with Unicode encoding without BOM marks. Don't forget to insert as the first line.

Add the following lines to :

Now save  again.
