Configuration
=============
Specifying the configuration file
---------------------------------
If you don't specify a configuration file then Akka uses default values. If
you want to override these then you should edit the ``akka.conf`` file in the
``AKKA_HOME/config`` directory. This config inherits from the
``akka-reference.conf`` file that you see below. Use your ``akka.conf`` to override
any property in the reference config.
The config can be specified in various ways:
* Define the ``-Dakka.config=...`` system property option
* Put an ``akka.conf`` file on the classpath
* Define the ``AKKA_HOME`` environment variable pointing to the root of the Akka
distribution. The config is taken from the ``AKKA_HOME/config`` directory. You
can also point to the AKKA_HOME by specifying the ``-Dakka.home=...`` system
property option.
Defining the configuration file
-------------------------------
Here is the reference configuration file:
.. literalinclude:: ../../config/akka-reference.conf
:language: none
