Home Directories for 3DOrchestrate

Some configuration files for 3DOrchestrate can be kept in the user's home directory, for example the hostname.cpr connection profile for a station.

The home directory should be the standard operating system home directory of the user who starts the station program.

Windows

On Windows, the home folder/directory is defined by the combined values of the environment variables HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH:

%HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\

HOMEPATH is frequently set to \Users\<username>\.

For example, if a user's HOMEDRIVE is set to C: and HOMEPATH is \Users\bjones\, then the complete home directory is:

C:\Users\bjones\

The environment variable USERPROFILE may also be set to the user's home directory.

Linux

On Linux, the home directory is defined by the value of the environment variable HOME. This usually equates to:

/home/<username>/

For example: /home/bjones/

You can check the current setting of your HOME environment variable with the following Linux command:

$ echo $HOME
