Setup a new project directory#

The pvWebMonitor service is configured by files configured by the user in a project directory.

To get default versions of the files, run this command:

mkdir path/to/project/directory
pvWebMonitor --setup path/to/project/directory
cd path/to/project/directory

where path/to/project/directory is either a partial, relative, or absolute path to an existing directory to be used. Once this command has run, the files will be copied to the designated directory. If files with these names already exist, pvWebMonitor will stop with an error report and not overwrite the existing files.
