 What does this mean? Simply put, it means that you can now use your InvenTree database as a native KiCad library, and pull your InvenTree data directly in to your KiCad schematic.
 
+### Configuration File
+
+Once the plugin is installed, a simple configuration file on the local computer is all that is required to connect to the InvenTree database. All that is required is the URL to the remote server (with the correct plugin extension) and an API token for authentication:
+
+```
+{
+    "meta": {
+        "version": 1.0
+    },
+    "name": "InvenTree",
+    "description": "InvenTree Library",
+    "source": {
+        "type": "REST_API",
+        "api_version": "v1",
+        "root_url": "http://my.inventree.server/plugin/kicad-library-plugin",
+        "token": "usertokendatastring"
+    }
+}
+```
+
