After install aspell I was looking for any configuration file 

~$ aspell dump config
# conf (string)
#   main configuration file
# default: aspell.conf

# conf-dir (string)
#   location of main configuration file
# default: /etc
.
.
.

but I couldn't find one

~$ sudo find / -iname "*aspell*.conf"

How to create a global configuration file, just execute sudo aspell --conf "aspell.conf" --conf-dir "/etc"?

:~$ lsb_release -a

  • Based on the man page, it looks like the default is /etc/aspell.conf - so you can just create that file if it does not already exist. Or put personal configuration options in ~/.aspell.conf.

  • @steeldriver, the man page says also "... The /etc/aspell.conf file is a good example of how to set these options ..." But what should be the default content if I would just create the config file on my own?

  • . . . what are you trying to configure? I don't think it needs any default content - the idea is to overwrite specific name-value pairs with non default values

  • @steeldriver, I want to add different dictionaries, but this is not the question. My question was about the "... good example..." but I couldn't find the example.

Reset to default

Create one: /etc/aspell.conf

Or in newer versions, I believe it is in: /usr/local/etc
