# Setup log

The `setup` tool writes a log file providing information about the processing that it performs. By default, this log file is written to `logs/setup.log` although a different name may be used if a file with that name already exists, because the `setup` tool has already been run. The full path to the setup log file is provided when the `setup` tool has completed.
