Unable to Find Configuration File After npm Installation on Ubuntu

[edze-worla-alex]

Hi everyone,

I installed the application using npm on Ubuntu Linux, and I'm trying to locate the configuration file so I can customize the settings.

I've checked common locations such as:

~/.config/
~/.local/share/
The npm global installation directory

but I haven't been able to find any configuration file.

Could someone please clarify:

Where the configuration file is stored on Ubuntu?
Is the file generated automatically after the first run, or do I need to create it manually?
If it needs to be created manually, could you provide an example configuration?

For reference, I installed it using npm.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The config is not stored next to the global npm package. MiMoCode's README names its own config paths.

The README's configuration section says the file is:

.mimocode/mimocode.json

inside the current project directory, or globally:

~/.config/mimocode/mimocode.json

So on Ubuntu I would check:

ls -la .mimocode/mimocode.json
ls -la ~/.config/mimocode/mimocode.json

If you have never completed the first-run setup, run:

mimo

from the project where you want local settings. The first launch should guide configuration automatically. Use the project-local .mimocode/mimocode.json when settings should be different per repo; use ~/.config/mimocode/mimocode.json for defaults you want across projects.

For example, if you just want to create the directory before rerunning setup:

mkdir -p .mimocode
mimo

I would avoid editing files under the npm global package directory; that is application code and can be replaced by updates.

If those files are still missing after running mimo, the next useful detail to share would be the first-run output and whether you launched it inside a project directory or from $HOME. If this locates the config file, marking it answered would help other npm/Linux installs.
