Configuration Files

On installation, Arcade installs a templated Engine configuration and Environment variable.

See the Specifying a Config File for usage.

Engine Configuration

The Engine configuration engine.yaml location varies based on installation method.

  • Homebrew: $HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY/etc/arcade-engine/engine.yaml (commonly /opt/homebrew/Cellar/etc/arcade-engine/engine.yaml)
  • Apt: /etc/arcade-ai/engine.yaml
  • Manual Download: Manually downloaded configs can be added to $HOME/.arcade/engine.yaml
To manually download the engine.yaml, you can get an example from the Configuration Templates

Engine configurations support variable expansion for Secrets and Environment Files.

You can edit the engine.yaml file for to change configurations for the Engine and Supported Models.

Environment File

Arcade installs a default arcade.env file to the $HOME/.arcade/ directory on login, which can be seen on the Configuration Templates page.

The installed file contains default variables to run the Engine locally, and can be changed or overridden by exporting variables to your environment through the command line.
