## Configuration Tuning
This section contains advice about how to change your Bitcoin Core
configuration to adapt it to your needs.
There are two ways to change your configuration. The first is to start
Bitcoin Core with the options you want. For example, if you want to
limit it to using one CPU core for signature verification, you can start
Bitcoin Core like this:
{% highlight bash %}
## Bitcoin Core daemon
bitcoind -par=1 -daemon
## Bitcoin Core GUI
bitcoin-qt -par=1
{% endhighlight %}
Once you've decided you like an option, you can add it to the Bitcoin
Core configuration file. You can find that file in the following
directories:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\
- OSX: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
- Linux: $HOME/.bitcoin/
To add an option to the configuration file, just remove its leading
dash. You may also need to remove any quotation marks you used in your shell.
For example, the `-par` option seen above would look like this in the
configuration file:
{% highlight text %}
par=1
{% endhighlight %}
