Config file and command line options
====================================

The notebook server can be run with a variety of command line arguments.
A list of available options can be found below in the :ref:`options section 
<options>`.

Defaults for these options can also be set by creating a file named
``jupyter_notebook_config.py`` in your Jupyter folder. The Jupyter
folder is in your home directory, ``~/.jupyter``.

To create a ``jupyter_notebook_config.py`` file, with all the defaults
commented out, you can use the following command line::

  $ jupyter notebook --generate-config


.. _options:

Options
