Overview

Downloaded Cosmos assets are saved to a default local directory: C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages

You can change this directory by editing the Cosmos Browser configuration file. To do so, follow the steps below.

 

Steps

Windows

  1. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\ChaosGroup\ChaosCosmos

  2. Open the config.json file with a text editor of your choice, e.g. Notepad.

  3. Find the following part: "working_dir":"C:\\Users\\[User]\\Documents\\Chaos Cosmos" and replace the path with the new desired directory. Do not change the syntax.

  4. Restart the Cosmos Browser Service (CCBService) from Task Manager > Services. When the service starts again, it will create two folders in the newly specified directory: Packages and Updates.

  5. Once you sign in to Cosmos Browser again, the Cosmos assets will be downloaded to the newly created Packages folder.

To use the Cosmos assets downloaded previously to the default directory C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Chaos Cosmos\Packages, you have to delete them and then, re-download them.

macOS

  1. Go to /Library/ChaosGroup/ChaosCosmos/

  2. Open the config.json file with a text editor of your choice, e.g. Notepad.

  3. Find the part: "working_dir":"/Users/[User]/ChaosCosmos" and replace the path with the new desired directory. Do not change the syntax.

  4. Restart the installed Cosmos Browser Service (CCBService) by opening the Terminal in macOS and executing these commands: 

    sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.chaos_group.ccbservice.plist
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.chaos_group.ccbservice.plist

  5. When the service starts again, it will create two folders in the newly specified directory: Packages and Updates.

  6. Once you sign in to Cosmos Browser again, the Cosmos assets will be downloaded to the newly created Packages folder.

To use the Cosmos assets downloaded previously to the default directory /Users/[User]/ChaosCosmos/Packages, you have to delete them and then, re-download them.
