# Config Installation

When installed, the following values are set by default in the config file

```ini
[SETTINGS]
WATCH=/downloads/temp
TARGET=/downloads/processed
IGNORED_TERMS=Annual
IGNORED_EXTENSIONS=.crdownload,.torrent,.tmp,.mega,.rar,.bak
IGNORED_FILES=cover.jpg,cvinfo,.DS_Store
READ_SUBDIRECTORIES=True
CONVERT_SUBDIRECTORIES=True
AUTOCONVERT=True
XML_YEAR=False
XML_MARKDOWN=False
XML_LIST=True
MOVE_DIRECTORY=True
AUTO_UNPACK=True
```

During installation (see [quickstart](../../getting-started/quickstart "mention")), you will need to map the `/config` directory to a local folder ensure that config settings are persisted on updates.

```yaml
- '/path/to/local/config:/config' # Maps local folder to container
```

**First Install:** On the first install with new config settings, visit the config page, ensure everything is configured as desired.

* Save your Config settings
* Click the Restart App button
