The config dir for the official Riot.im app is in `riot.im`. If you use this,
|
||||
your app will auto-update itself using builds from Riot.im.
|

|
||||
Profiles
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
To run multiple instances of the desktop app for different accounts, you can
|
||||
launch the executable with the `--profile` argument followed by a unique
|
||||
identifier, e.g `riot-desktop --profile Work` for it to run a separate profile and
|
||||
not interfere with the default one.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, a custom location for the profile data can be specified using the
|
||||
`--profile-dir` flag followed by the desired path.
|
||||
|
||||
User-specified config.json
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
+ `%APPDATA%\$NAME\config.json` on Windows
|
||||
+ `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME\$NAME\config.json` or `~/.config/$NAME/config.json` on Linux
|
||||
+ `~Library/Application Support/$NAME/config.json` on macOS
|
||||
|
||||
In the paths above, `$NAME` is typically `Riot`, unless you use `--profile
|
||||
$PROFILE` in which case it becomes `Riot-$PROFILE`.
