Advanced configuration¶
Default cache directory¶
By default, files downloaded by the CLI tool and underlying Python library code will be saved to the .civic-scraper
folder in the user’s home directory.
On Linux/Mac systems, this will be ~/.civic-scraper/
.
Customize cache directory¶
To use an alternate cache directory, set the below environment variable (e.g. in a ~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_profile
configuration file):
export CIVIC_SCRAPER_DIR=/tmp/some_other_dir
