ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       IPYTHONDIR
	   This is the location where IPython stores all its configuration files.  The default on most platforms is $HOME/.ipython, but  on  Linux
	   IPython respects the XDG config specification, which will put IPYTHONDIR in $HOME/.config/ipython by default.

	   You can see the computed value of IPYTHONDIR with `ipython locate`.

FILES
       IPython	uses various configuration files stored in profiles within IPYTHONDIR.	To generate the default configuration files and start con-
       figuring IPython, do 'ipython profile create', and edit '*_config.py' files located in IPYTHONDIR/profile_default.
