# Paths and Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Navi uses the [`directories-next`](https://crates.io/crates/directories-next) package, which
|
|
defines platform-specific standard locations of directories for config, cache and other data.
|
|
|
|
Mac users, this is why your files are being stored in `~/Library/Application Support/navi`.
|
|
|
|
To set custom paths for your config and cheat sheets, you can set the following
|
|
environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
export NAVI_CONFIG="~/.config/navi/config.yaml"
|
|
export NAVI_PATH="~/.local/share/navi"
|
|
```
|
|
Despite `$NAVI_PATH` being set, it will not be used when installing cheat
|
|
sheets directly via navi's own commands.
|
|
|
|
For example when running `navi add repo <repo>`, the default paths as per the `directories-next`
|
|
package will still be used.
|
|
|
|
To avoid this, you may simply clone repos via a regular `git clone` command,
|
|
directly into `$NAVI_PATH`.
|
|
|
|
Note! `navi info cheats-path` and `navi info config-path` display the *default* path, not
|
|
the path set by the user. [It is known that this is a little misleading!](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi/issues/664#issuecomment-1004721178).
