 ## TOML Files

-This is how your files should be organised. Wherever your `__main__.py` file is located (after install this can be any location), `configs` should be in the same location.
-Directly inside of configs directory you may place an app.toml, vban.toml and a directory for each kind.
-Inside each kind directory you may place as many custom toml configurations as you wish.
+If you've downloaded the binary from [Releases][releases] you can find configs included in the `_internal/configs` directory.
+
+You may override these configs by placing a directory `vm-compact` in one of the following locations:
+
+-   `user home directory / .config`
+-   `user home directory / Documents / Voicemeeter`
+
+The contents should match the following directory structure:
