Getting Started

Follow the installation instructions provided in the FOQUS Installation and Running chapter.

The first time FOQUS is started, the user is prompted to specify a working directory. The working directory preference is stored in %APPDATA%\.foqus.cfg on Windows (APPDATA is an environment variable). On Linux or OSX, the working directory is specified in $HOME/.foqus.cfg. Additionally the user can override the working directory when starting FOQUS by using the --working_dir <working dir> or -w <working dir> command line option. Log files, user plugins, and files related to other FOQUS tools are stored in the working directory. The working directory can be changed at a later time from within FOQUS. A full list of FOQUS command line arguments is available using the -h or --help arguments.
