 1 | # Running SteamVR without a headset attached (using the null driver)
 2 | 
 3 | You will need to edit two files, the `default.vrsettings` of the null driver, and the `default.vrsettings` of SteamVR.
 4 | 
 5 | ## Steam Directory
 6 | 
 7 | Both files are contained in your steam directory. Where that directory is depends on your operating system.
 8 | 
 9 | ### Windows
10 | 
11 | On Windows this is usually `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\`, unless you installed Steam on another drive.
12 | 
13 | ### Linux
14 | 
15 | On Linux it depends on whether you've installed steam from the homepage or from the official package manager.
16 | 
17 | If installed from the homepage, at least on Ubuntu, it should be in `~/.local/share/Steam`, while the official package manger places it in `~/.steam`.
18 | 
19 | ## Null Driver File
20 | 
21 | The null driver file can be found in `*Steam Directory*/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/null/resources/settings/default.vrsettings`.
22 | 
23 | Open the null driver file and replace `"enable": false,` with `"enable": true,`.
24 | 
25 | ## SteamVR Config File
26 | 
27 | The second file, the SteamVR config file, can be found in `*Steam Directory*/steamapps/common/SteamVR/resources/settings/default.vrsettings`
28 | 
29 | Change `"requireHmd": true,` to `"requireHmd": false,`, `"forcedDriver": "",` to `"forcedDriver": "null",` and `        "activateMultipleDrivers": false,` to `"activateMultipleDrivers": true,`.
30 | 
31 | Notice that, like it says at the top of the file, this file will be replaced when SteamVR updates. If you want, you can place the settings in your `steamvr.vrsettings` file located somewhere in the Steam directory. Make sure you place them under the `steamvr` header.
