:A~? Configuration

:B~? Configure Environment

1~config Configuration

2~ Determining the Current Configuration

Information on the current configuration of SiSU should be available with the help command:

_1 sisu -v

which is an alias for:

_1 sisu --help env

Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains sisu markup source documents.

2~ Configuration files (config.yml)

SiSU configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which can be used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which directory interim processing should be done in and where the generated output should be placed.

The SiSU configuration file is a yaml file, which means indentation is significant.

SiSU resource configuration is determined by looking at the following files if they exist:

_1 ./_sisu/sisurc.yml

_1 ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml

_1 /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml

The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used.

In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal program defaults.

Configuration determines the output and processing directories and the database access details.

If SiSU is installed a sample sisurc.yml may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
