Need help setting up bitcoin.conf file

[tendemo]

Hi could someone kindly give me directives on how to install and get a bitcoin.conf in the right directory. I did a PPA install via https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#ubuntu-1610 installation on a Linux Ubuntu OS and found out that I dont have a bitcoin.conf. Pardon me if its been asked before.Thanks

The bitcoin.conf file should be located at ~/.bitcoin
You'll need to do your config, and then edit the file.
Have you already made the config, or do you need help setting up the lines or for what?
I can give you step by step instructions and even make the config for you if you need help, if you are new to GNU/Linux systems, you can see the hidden folders on file manager when pressing CTRL + R.

If you do not already have a bitcoin.conf file, then you need to make one. The bitcoin.conf file is not made by default. To make one, just create a new text file named bitcoin.conf in the ~/.bitcoin folder. Make sure that there are no additional file extensions (e.g. .txt) on the bitcoin.conf file. Then just edit it with your favorite text editor and add the config lines that you want.

~\.Bitcoin is the folder you want. (Note that the "~" is important, that folder should be created the first time you run the core).
