FAQ where to put pml files

From DANSE

There are several places to put .pml files, depending on the scope you'd like them to have.

1. Files meant to override variables system-wide should be put with the pyre installation, in pythia-m.n/etc/<comp_name>/<comp_name>.pml, where m.n is the pythia version number, and <comp_name> is the name of the component. Example: the system-wide .pml file for myApp with pythia-0.8 should be .../pythia-0.8/etc/myApp/myApp.pml
2. Files meant to override variables for just one user should be in a directory called .pyre immediately beneath the user's home directory. Example: /home/tim/.pyre/myApp/myApp.pml
3. Files meant to be local overrides should go in the local directory: ./myApp.pml

3 beats the others, 2 beats 1, 1 beats whatever the default is.
