# Config File

:::tip

We use `yaml` configuration file. It will be created automatically after `answer init` command. The default path is `/data/conf/config.yaml`

The `ui` configuration first is used to configure React's environment variables, which generally don't need to be changed unless you want to configure a CDN or deploy the project in a subdirectory.
