page	Creating Initial Config Files

Configuration files in ENiGMA½ are simple UTF-8 encoded HJSON files. HJSON is just like JSON but simplified and much more resilient to human error.

Initial Configuration

Your initial configuration skeleton can be created using the oputil.js command line utility. From your enigma-bbs root directory:

./oputil.js config new

You will be asked a series of questions to create an initial configuration, which will be saved to /enigma-bbs-install-path/config/config.hjson. This will also produce config/<bbsName>-menu.hjson and config/<bbsName>-prompt.hjson files (where <bbsName> is replaced by the name you provided in the steps above). See Menu HJSON for more information.
