== Overview ==
This page describes how to apply and persist custom configuration settings for changing default directories. For the purposes of this wiki page, it is assumed that ConTeXt is installed at:
/opt/context
== Default Variables ==
The file `/opt/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua` contains a number of variables, including:
TEXMFCACHE
TEXMFOS
TEXMFCONTEXT
Do not change this file as upgrading ConTeXt overwrites these files.
== Custom Variables ==
Modify a variable as follows:
1. Change to the location of `setuptex` (e.g., `/opt/context/tex/`).
1. Create a new file called `texmfcnf.lua` (or `texmf.cnf`).
1. Set only the required variables.
For example, to change the cache directory, use:
return {
content = {
variables = {
TEXMFCACHE = "/var/cache/context/texmf-cache",
},
},
}
Save the file.
The allowed locations for texmfcnf.lua are determined by the variable TEXMFCNF being set in
texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf in luatex sources.
