# Configuration
Configuration files in ENiGMA½ are simple UTF-8 encoded [HJSON](http://hjson.org/) files. HJSON is just like JSON but simplified and much more resilient to human error.
## System Configuration
The main system configuration file, `config.hjson` both overrides defaults and provides additional configuration such as message areas. The default path is `~/.config/enigma-bbs/config.hjson` though you can override this with the `--config` parameter when invoking `main.js`. Values found in core/config.js may be overridden by simply providing the object members you wish replace.
**Windows note**: **~** resolves to *C:\Users\YOURLOGINNAME\* on modern Windows installations, e.g. `C:\Users\NuSkooler\.config\enigma-bbs\config.hjson`
### oputil.js
Please see `oputil.js config` for configuration generation options.
### Example: System Name
`core/config.js` provides the default system name as follows:
```javascript
general : {
boardName : 'Another Fine ENiGMA½ System'
}
```
To override this for your own board, in `config.hjson`:
```hjson
general: {
boardName: Super Fancy BBS
}
```
(Note the very slightly different syntax. **You can use standard JSON if you wish**)

### A Sample Configuration
Below is a **sample** `config.hjson` illustrating various (but certainly not all!) elements that can be configured / tweaked.
**This is for illustration purposes! Do not cut & paste this configuration!**
