Registry Types and Locations

Modified on July 26, 2024view on GitHub

There are three different types of registries (Machine, User, Custom). Each machine can have any number of user and Custom registries:

Machine-level Registry

A registry with a known location that can be queried by anyone, and by default requires administrator privileges to install/modify.

  • Windows: %ProgramData%\upack
  • Linux: /var/lib/upack

User-level Registry

A registry with a known location based on the current username, which can be changed by the current user and administrators.

  • Windows: %USER%\.upack
  • Linux: ~/.upack

Custom Registry

A registry with a different location and possibly different permissions.
