Configuring the Data Directory ​

All the data Caido creates is stored in a single folder. The default location of this folder is dependent on your OS:

OSLocation
Linux~/.local/share/caido
MacOS~/Library/Application\ Support/io.caido.Caido/
Windows%APPDATA%\caido\Caido\data

TIP

The log directory will contain the log files used to view output from the Coding Nodes using the SDK.

INFO

Currently, it is not possible to create Caido Projects outside this folder. However, you can change the location of the whole folder if needed.
