== Installation

General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the [TracPlugins#InstallingaTracplugin TracPlugins] page.

== Example

{{{#!ini
[edit_file]
files = conf/trac.ini, /home/matt/public_html/notebook/TRACI/auth.db
}}}

'''Note''': relative paths will be computed relative to the location of `trac.ini`. Most Trac instances are laid out with folders like conf/, db/, htdocs/, and so on. If your `trac.ini` file is in an odd place, this may not work the way you expect and you might want to be sure and use absolute paths.
