Configuration#

The configuration of idmtools_platform_local is set in the idmtools.ini file. This file is normally located in the project directory but idmtools_platform_local will search up through the directory hierarchy, and lastly the files ~/.idmtools.ini on Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\idmtools_local\idmtools.ini on Windows. If no configuration file is found, an error is displayed. To supress this error, you can use IDMTOOLS_NO_CONFIG_WARNING=1
