 ## Usage
 
-1. Run the `discordo` executable with no arguments. A new and default configuration will be created at `~/.config/discordo.toml` on first startup.
+1. Run the `discordo` executable with no arguments. On first startup, a default configuration file will be created at `$HOME/.config/discordo.toml` on Unix, `%AppData%/discordo.toml` on Windows, `$HOME/Library/Application Support/discordo.toml` on Darwin, and `$home/lib/discordo.toml` on Plan 9.
 2. Log in using the account email and password (first-time login) and click on the "Login" button to continue.
 
 > By default, Discordo utilizes OS-specific keyring to store credentials such as client authentication token. However, if you prefer not to use a keyring (not recommended), you may set the `token` field in the configuration file and Discordo will prioritize the usage of the provided token to login instead of keyring.
