!!! note "Configuration File Locations"
Beekeeper Studio looks for specific files in specific locations. This is not configurable. Note that the user and admin files have different names
=== "MacOS"
| Config | Location |
| ---- | ------ |
| User | ~/Library/Application Support/beekeeper-studio/user.config.ini |
| Admin | /Library/Application Support/beekeeper-studio/system.config.ini |
=== "Linux"
| Config | Location |
| ---- | ----- |
| User | ~/.config/beekeeper-studio/user.config.ini |
| Admin | /etc/beekeeper-studio/system.config.ini |
=== "Windows"
| Config | Location |
| ---- | ----- |
| User | %APPDATA%\beekeeper-studio\user.config.ini |
| Admin | C:\ProgramData\beekeeper-studio\system.config.ini |
=== "Local Development"
Put a `local.config.ini` in the root of the Beekeeper Studio project directory. This is used only during app development and takes the place of both user and admin files.
