## TL;DR
```sh

sudo apt install 'syncthing'
brew install --cask 'syncthing'
sudo zypper install 'syncthing'
# Startup.
syncthing
syncthing --gui-address '0.0.0.0:8384' --no-default-folder
systemctl --user start 'syncthing.service'
```
## Configuration
| OS | Path |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Mac OS X | `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing` |
| Windows | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Syncthing` |
## Troubleshooting
### I forgot the password
Remove the entry under `gui.password` in the [configuration file][configuration]:
```sh
# With XMLStarlet
xml ed -L -d 'configuration/gui/password' 'Library/Application Support/Syncthing/config.xml'
```
Then enter the settings on the host and set a new password.
