Config file location?

[Lenbok]

A couple of days ago I installed birdnet-go for the first time, on a pi4, using the install.sh script. However, I cannot find where the config.yaml file is stored. The docs say to look in $HOME/.config/birdnet-go/ or /etc/birdnet-go/ but neither folder exists (let alone config.yaml within). Where are the settings getting installed?'

Did you try `find`? \\Greg

Ahh, found it in $HOME/birdnet-go-app/config/config.yaml - thanks!
