For more information on how to use IPython, see ’ipython –help’, or ’ipython –help-all’ for all available command‐line options.

IPYTHONDIR

This is the location where IPython stores all its configuration files. The default is $HOME/.ipython if IPYTHONDIR is not defined.

You can see the computed value of IPYTHONDIR with `ipython locate`.

IPython uses various configuration files stored in profiles within IPYTHONDIR. To generate the default configuration files and start configuring IPython, do ’ipython profile create’, and edit ’*_config.py’ files located in IPYTHONDIR/profile_default.

IPython is written by the IPython Development Team https://github.com/ipython/ipython.
