FLO Setup Guide¶
Last updated for v0.10.4.6
FLO wallet is a software program where FLOs are stored. To be technically accurate, FLOs are not stored anywhere; there is a private key (secret number) for every FLO address that is saved in the FLO wallet of the person who owns the balance. FLO wallets facilitate sending and receiving FLOs and gives ownership of the FLO balance to the user. The FLO wallet comes in many forms; desktop, mobile, web and hardware are the four main types of wallets.

Troubleshooting¶
Where does FLO store data/write log files?
FLO stores the blockchain, your wallet, log files and its own configuration files all in a single directory. A different directory is used depending on the operating system:
| OS | FLO data directory |
|---|---|
| Windows | C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Florincoin |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Florincoin |
