# Setup

`ncmprs` requires a `config.toml` file that points to your FLAC music library.

## Linux

1. Create the configuration directory:
   ```sh
   mkdir -p "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ncmprs"
   ```

2. Create the configuration file:
   ```sh
   touch "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ncmprs/config.toml"
   ```

3. Add the path to your music library:
   ```toml
   library_path = "/path/to/your/music"
   ```

---

## Windows

1. Create the configuration directory:
   ```
   C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\ncmprs\
   ```

2. Create a file named `config.toml` inside that directory.

3. Add the path to your music library:
   ```toml
   library_path = "Z:\\Users\\<YourUser>\\Music"
   ```

> **Note:** Windows paths in TOML require backslashes to be escaped (`\\` instead of `\`).
> **Note:** The first time you start `ncmprs`, it will take some time to index your library and create it's own database.
