I was curious, so I installed it.

cer@Telcontar:~> man tldr
No manual entry for tldr
cer@Telcontar:~>

cer@Telcontar:~> tldr tldr
Error: Page cache not found. Please run `tldr --update` to download the 
cache.

Note: You can optionally enable automatic cache updates by adding the
following config to your config file:

   [updates]
   auto_update = true

The path to your config file can be looked up with `tldr --show-paths`.
To create an initial config file, use `tldr --seed-config`.

You can find more tips and tricks in our docs:

   https://dbrgn.github.io/tealdeer/config_updates.html
cer@Telcontar:~>




It said that yesterday for root, I run "update", and now it says the 
same for my user. So each user has its own cache?

What config file, where is it?

cer@Telcontar:~> l .tldr
ls: cannot access '.tldr': No such file or directory
cer@Telcontar:~>

cer@Telcontar:~> ls /etc/tldr
ls: cannot access '/etc/tldr': No such file or directory
cer@Telcontar:~>

cer@Telcontar:~> rpm -ql tealdeer
/usr/bin/tldr
/usr/share/doc/packages/tealdeer
/usr/share/doc/packages/tealdeer/README.md
/usr/share/licenses/tealdeer
/usr/share/licenses/tealdeer/LICENSE-APACHE
/usr/share/licenses/tealdeer/LICENSE-MIT
cer@Telcontar:~>


Where is that configuration file?


«The path to your config file can be looked up with `tldr --show-paths`.»


cer@Telcontar:~> tldr --show-paths
Config dir:       /home/cer/.config/tealdeer/ (OS convention)
Config path:      /home/cer/.config/tealdeer/config.toml
Cache dir:        /home/cer/.cache/tealdeer (OS convention)
Pages dir:        /home/cer/.cache/tealdeer/tldr-pages/
Custom pages dir: /home/cer/.local/share/tealdeer/pages/ (OS convention)
cer@Telcontar:~>


So each user has its own cache? Is not that a waste?


«To create an initial config file, use `tldr --seed-config`.»


cer@Telcontar:~> tldr --seed-config
Successfully created seed config file here: 
/home/cer/.config/tealdeer/config.toml
cer@Telcontar:~>


So now I have:

[updates]
auto_update = true
auto_update_interval_hours = 720


Now "tldr tldr" works.

Directory "/home/cer/.cache/tealdeer" contains 17 MB.

And another one for root.

Cheers, Carlos.
