There's no mods.d directory!

This page describes what the `mods.d` directory is and how to solve this problem!

6.1 What is the `mods.d` directory?

The `mods.d` directory is the directory which should contain the config files of the modules! You must have this directory, otherwise you can't use Bibletime and Sword! Please read the installation instructions on our homepage!

6.2 How do I solve this problem?

The solution is to create a directory `mods.d`: Please go into your Sword directory and type "mkdir mods.d" to create the directory. Now copy the config files of your modules into this package and remove (if they exist) the file `mods.conf` which isn't required any more. The `mods.d` directory replaced this file.

6.3 Can I start BibleTime without this directory?

Yes, it's possible. But it's not very useful. There are no modules in the main index. It's possible to test BibleTime this way, but it's not possible to work with it without modules.
