The User Data Directory is the place where Stellarium saves the configuration file, recorded scripts and can also be used to override files in the [[Installation Data Directory]] if the user wishes to customise Stellarium. The location of this directory varies depending on the operating system.

{| cellpadding=4 border=1
| ''OS'' || ''Location''
|-
| Linux / BSD / other POSIX || ''$HOME/.stellarium'' where $HOME is your home directory.
|-
| Windows || This is the ''Stellarium'' sub-directory of your users ''Documents and Settings'' directory.
|-
| MacOS X || ''$HOME/Library/Preferences/Stellarium'' where $HOME is your home directory.
|}

The directory tree within the User Data Directory is the same as the Installation Data Directory. Any file which exists in the User Data Directory will over-ride that in the Installation Data Directory.

For example, to modify the position of a nebula texture, the user may copy the ''nebulae/default/nebula_textures.fab'' file from the Installation Data Directory to the ''nebulae/default'' sub-directory of the User Data Directory and modify it there. In this manner, each user on a multi-user system may have their own customized Stellarium data files.

See the user guide for a more detailed description of these files.
