# Creating a config (CLI)

# Create a sample configuration using the command line

Note that the syntax of file names may differ between systems.

From the command prompt, type

chordpro --print-template-config > myconfig.json

The generated file contains most of the ChordPro configuration items, all commented out. It is easy to get started with configuring ChordPro by enabling and modifyng just a few items at a time.

For a full config, with everything set to default values, type

chordpro --print-default-config > myconfig.json
