# How can I define the local location for `wandb` files?

* `WANDB_DIR=<path>` or `wandb.init(dir=<path>)`: Controls the location of the `wandb` folder created for your training script. Defaults to `./wandb`. This folder stores Run's data and logs
* `WANDB_ARTIFACT_DIR=<path>` or `wandb.Artifact().download(root="<path>")`: Controls the location where artifacts are downloaded. Defaults to `./artifacts`
* `WANDB_CACHE_DIR=<path>`: This is the location where artifacts are created and stored when you call `wandb.Artifact`. Defaults to `~/.cache/wandb`
* `WANDB_CONFIG_DIR=<path>`: Where config files are stored. Defaults to `~/.config/wandb`
* `WANDB_DATA_DIR=<PATH>`: Controls the location used for staging artifacts during upload. Defaults to `~/.cache/wandb-data/`.
