Host profiles live in /src/resources/hosts/<compute center name>.
There is a script and a couple of helper files in the 'hosts' directory that allow the centers and profiles to be added during the installation of VisIt_, or imported later via the gui.
- If you add or remove directories from 'hosts', please edit networks.dat and tools/dev/scripts/visit-install accordingly.
- If you add or remove directories or files, please regenerate networks.json by running dump_dir_to_networks_json.py.
- Note that if run on Windows, the generated networks.json file will have dos-style line endings. Convert it to Unix style before committing.
- If you want to specify a default host configuration for a center, edit default_configs.dat.
Steps for creating host profiles can be found in :ref:`Host Profiles<host_profiles>`.
