# Genome::Env::GENOME\_SW(3pm)

Database root directory

## NAME

GENOME\_SW  - Database root directory

## DESCRIPTION

The GENOME\_SW environment variable is the root directory for data base storage.

## DEFAULT VALUE

The Genome::Sys module typically leans on OS package management where advanced package management exists (Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat, etc.)

This path is a fallback for systems with locally produced software which is not packaged:

```
 /var/lib/genome/sw
```
