+```sh

+
+## Configuration
+`stew` can be configured with a `stew.config.json` file. The location of this file will depend on your OS:
+
+|Linux/macOS | Windows |
+| ------------ | ---------- |
+| `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stew` or `~/.config/stew` | `~/AppData/Local/stew/Config` |
+
+You can configure 2 aspects of `stew`:
+1. The `stewPath`: this is where `stew` data is stored.
+2. The `stewBinPath`: this is where `stew` installs binaries
+
+The default locations for these are:
+|                    | Linux/macOS | Windows |
+| ------------ | ------------ | ---------- |
+| `stewPath` | `$XDG_DATA_HOME/stew` or `~/.local/share/stew` | `~/AppData/Local/stew` |
+| `stewBinPath` | `~/.local/bin` | `~/AppData/Local/stew/bin` |
+
+There are multiple ways to configure these:
+* When you first run `stew`, it will look for a `stew.config.json` file. If it cannot find one, then you will be prompted to set the configuration values.
+* After `stew` is installed, you can use the `stew config` command to set the configuration values.
+* At any time, you can manually create or edit the `stew.config.json` file. It should have values for `stewPath` and `stewBinPath`.
