Hello,

I installed Kolibri on a raspberry pi server, all well.  
I created a test facility to play around, and I would like to create/change it into a proper one now (different name, different initial settings).  
I can’t figure out how to do this except by uninstalling and reinstalling Kolibri.

Is there a way to change the initial settings for the facility?

Thanks for this,  
Best,  
Clementine

Sure!

1. shut down Kolibri
2. delete the directory at `~/.kolibri`
3. restart Kolibri

(Note that this will also delete any content you’ve downloaded. If this is not desirable, you’ll need to go into `~/.kolibri` and delete everything in there except the `content` folder.)

Maybe you can achieve what you are looking for by just going to the "Facility"tab as a super admin and changing the settings.
