Note in particular, that some settings (such as units, date/time formats) must be got right first time. If you do change those later, it is a lot of work because you will need to edit all the other files that Cumulus creates to reflect those changes.

For Cumulus MX, if it is being run for the first time and it does not inherit a file, it needs some settings before it can do anything.  Consequently, MX just hangs, because unless you look at the Terminal output or the file it creates in [[MXDiags_folder]], you won't know it is waiting for settings. You need to start up the[[MX_Administrative_Interface| Administrative Interface]] and go into the various settings pages yourself to select what MX needs to continue to work. You then need to stop MX so it stores those settings and can use them next time it starts.

Please note some settings can take immediate effect while MX is running, others only take on their new values when MX is restarted. Don't ever edit the configuration file directly while Cumulus MX is running!

|This parameter (attribute=value) is ignored for MX prior to build 3018, it determines if (when you next start Cumulus) it will send enhanced information to a [[MXDiags_folder]] file about the data coming from your weather station.  It is important to record here that, if you subsequently stop Cumulus, this parameter is reset to zero on exit.
