3.2. Installing configuration templates
To install a configuration, you need to install its template. Download or otherwise obtain an archive with the installation files. Then, uncompress the archive on the computer where you plan to install the template. Then, run the executable file located in a directory with the uncompressed files:
- Windows: the setup.exe file.
- Linux: the setup file.
- macOS: the setup.app distribution package.
After starting the template installer, the installation wizard will be displayed.

Fig. 12. Installing configurations
Select a directory to install the configuration template. The default path to the template directory is specified as follows:
- ConfigurationTemplatesLocation parameters in file 1cestart.cfg are searched for the local template directory that the user has a permission to write. If 1cestart.cfg contains more than one parameter with such directories, the first directory will be chosen.
- If no local directories are found, a directory will be created at the default location. This directory will be used as the default template directory. Besides, the record about this directory will be specified as the first ConfigurationTemplatesLocation parameter in 1cestart.cfg.
The user can change the proposed default path and choose another directory. Then, installation of the configuration template into the specified directory is attempted. If successful, the directory is specified as the first ConfigurationTemplatesLocation parameter in 1cestart.cfg.

Then, the installer copies the configuration template file into the specified directory.
To skip some steps of configuration template installation, run setup.exe with /s parameter. In this case, only the startup dialog box and configuration template copying progress bar will be displayed. The configuration template directory from the 1cestart.cfg file will be used. If the file does not contain information on template directory location, the default directory will be created. The path to the created directory will be set as default. Besides, the record about this directory will be specified as the first ConfigurationTemplatesLocation parameter in 1cestart.cfg.
