Changing Pythagora's installation directory

If you need to change the directory where Pythagora's Core files are installed, follow the steps below to seamlessly move your Pythagora setup to a new location without losing your current configurations and projects:

1. Create a new empty, directory on your computer.

2. Go to Pythagora's settings page and find the Pythagora Core path section. Click Change and select the new directory created in step #1:

3. This action will trigger the installation of the Pythagora core files to the new directory.

4. After finishing the installation, the directory you selected in step #2 will contain a new directory called pythagora-core with all of the Pythagora core files.

5. To ensure continuity of your existing projects, inside the old pythagora-core directory where you previously had Pythagora core installed, manually copy the pythagora.db file. Paste the old pythagora.db file inside the new pythagora-core directory, replacing the existing pythagora.db file in the new pythagora-core directory.

6. A new config.json file will be created in the new pythagora-core directory with the default settings.

Note: The steps in this article refer to the Pythagora core files, which is separate from the location where VS Code installs the underlying extension files. These files are usually in a directory called .vscode, inside an extensions directory. We don't recommend modifying this directory's location or the files inside this directory.
