### 1.3.2 Configuration

All official versions of POV-Ray for Unix come with procedures for correctly installing and configuring POV-Ray. These explanations are for reference.

#### 1.3.2.1 The I/O Restrictions configuration file

When POV-Ray starts it reads the configuration for the I/O Restriction feature from the `povray.conf` files. See the I/O Restrictions Documentation for a description of these files.

#### 1.3.2.2 The main POV-Ray INI file

When starting, POV-Ray for UNIX searches for an INI file containing default configuration options. The details can be found in the INI File Documentation.
