→Home Directory
As BaseX is distributed in different flavors, and may be started from different locations, it dynamically determines its home directory:
* First, the '''system property''' {{Code|"org.basex.path"}} is checked. If it contains a value, it is chosen as directory path.* If not, the '''current user directory''' (defined by the system property {{Code|"user.dir"}}) is chosen if the {{Code|.basex}} or {{Code|.basexhome}} file is found in this directory.
* Otherwise, the files are searched in the '''application directory''' (the folder in which the BaseX code is located).
* In all other cases, the '''user's home directory''' (defined in {{Code|"user.home"}}) is chosen.
