| 9 | A GNUnet setup typically consists of a set of service processes run by a user "gnunet" and a set of user-interface processes run by a standard account. The default location for the configuration file for the services is "~gnunet/.config/gnunet.conf"; however, as normal users also may need read-access to this configuration, you might want to instead put the service process configuration in "/etc/gnunet.conf". gnunet\-setup (part of the GNUnet GTK package) can be used to edit this configuration. The parts of GNUnet that are run as a normal user may have config options too and they read from "$HOME/.config/gnunet.conf". The latter config file can skip any options for the services. | 9 | A GNUnet setup typically consists of a set of service processes run by a user |

Every section begins with "[SECTIONNAME]" and contains a number of options of the form "OPTION=VALUE". Empty lines and lines beginning with a "#" are treated as comments. Almost all options are optional and the tools resort to reasonable defaults if they are not present. | 21 | The basic structure of the configuration file is the following. The file is |

| 18 | Many options will be common between sections. They can be repeated under each section with different values. The "[PATHS]" section is special. Here, it is possible to specify values for variables like "GNUNET_HOME". Then, in all filenames that begin with "$GNUNET_HOME" the "$GNUNET_HOME" will be replaced with the respective value at runtime. The main use of this is to redefine "$GNUNET_HOME", which by default points to "$HOME/.config/". By setting this variable, you can change the location where GNUnet stores its internal data. | 35 | Many options will be common between sections. They can be repeated under |
