# Setup log

The `setup` command 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 might be used if a file with that name already exists because the `setup` command has already been run. The full path to the setup log file is provided when the `setup` command has completed.
