Hi,
I please I already install curator in a server and I had put curator.yml in : ~/.curator/curator.yml
But in this new server I can't find the path I have just this :
```auto
/usr/bin/curator
/opt/elasticsearch-curator/lib/curator
/opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator
```
Where can I create : curator.yml and action.yml ?

You're not obliged to use `~/.curator/curator.yml`. You can just pass `--config /path/to/curator.yml` before the action yaml file argument.
In Unix, `~` indicates the `$HOME` path of the current user. So, the user executing Curator's `$HOME` path is where it will be looking. For example, if I had a user named `user`, `~/.curator/curator.yml` might be at `/home/user/.curator/curator.yml`

Thank you @theuntergeek
