<p><strong>pNbody</strong> uses a set of parameters files, color tables and formats files.
These files are provided by the installation and are by default stored in
the directory <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">site-packages/pNbody/config</span></tt>.
To display where these files are taken from, you can use the command:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">pNbody_show</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">path</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It is recommanded that the user uses its own configuration files. To be automatically
recongnized by <strong>pNbody</strong>, the latter must be in the user <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.pNbody</span></tt> directory.
<strong>pNbody</strong> provides a simple command to copy all parameters in this directory. Simply
type:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">pNbody_copy</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">defaultconfig</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and check the values of the new paths:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">pNbody_show</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">path</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can now freely modify the files contains in the configuratio directory.</p>
<p>By default, the content of the configuration directory is:</p>
<table border="1" class="docutils">
<colgroup>
<col width="22%" />
<col width="11%" />
<col width="67%" />
</colgroup>
