[SOLVED] Configuring Ncmpcpp

Hello Arch Forums!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ncmpcpp
I'm still fairly new to linux, and I'm trying to get used to CLI applications. I've installed ncmpcpp and mpd according to the wiki page. I checked my .ncmpcpp and saw nothing but an error log. The wiki states

If, after installation, ~/.ncmpcpp/config has not been created, simply copy the sample config

Where do I copy this sample config from?

Re: [SOLVED] Configuring Ncmpcpp

You need to create the "config" file in .ncmpcpp folder.
Here is a better page  http://www.linuxandlife.com/2012/01/sim … mpcpp.html

Re: [SOLVED] Configuring Ncmpcpp

Just below the part of the wiki you quoted:

For inspiration, see the following resources:

    Sample configuration file in /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/config.

But in general, you can simply check the contents of the package:

$ pacman -Ql ncmpcpp
ncmpcpp /usr/
ncmpcpp /usr/bin/
ncmpcpp /usr/bin/artist_to_albumartist
ncmpcpp /usr/bin/ncmpcpp
ncmpcpp /usr/share/
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/AUTHORS
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/COPYING
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/NEWS
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/bindings
ncmpcpp /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/config
ncmpcpp /usr/share/man/
ncmpcpp /usr/share/man/man1/
ncmpcpp /usr/share/man/man1/ncmpcpp.1.gz
