application's `Settings` > `Configuration` > `E:D journal file location`
option.
## Ensure log files can be written
The [application logfiles](Troubleshooting.md#debug-log-files)
are written under `$TMPDIR` if that is set, else
whatever the default is for your OS, e.g. `/tmp` on Linux.
If you only ever run this application as one user then the default isn't a
problem. However, if you do run it as more than one user then the subsequent
user(s) won't have permission to write to the log files/directories.
The best workaround for this is to ensure you explicitly set `TMPDIR` to a
per-user location, e.g. in `~/.bashrc`:
```bash
export TMPDIR="${HOME}/tmp"
mkdir -p "${TMPDIR}"
```
## Run the application
* Linux: `python3 EDMarketConnector.py`
