# ccontrol-init(1)

initialize ccontrol setup

## NAME

ccontrol-init - initialize ccontrol setup

## SYNOPSIS

*ccontrol-init* \[file\]

## DESCRIPTION

The [ccontrol-init(1)](/ccontrol-init/1.md) program creates a sensible default configuration file for ccontrol, and then installs ccontrol in your $HOME/bin directory if you have one (otherwise, you can simply put /usr/lib/ccontrol early in your path). If no filename is specified on the command line, $HOME/.ccontrol/default is used.

If $DISTCC\_HOSTS is set, then that is used as the distcc host list, otherwise a simple scan of the local network is attempted to find likely hosts.
