I understand about the environment variables per the documentation, but cannot figure how to set or change them. If I simply run
Code:
CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY
, it does nothing. Help on this please from doing so via command line?

Additionally, I do have a client install on a Windows machine which also see thew library and all from the GUI, can I also adjust from there and if so, how?

Thanks in advance!
CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY is an environment variable not a program you can run! You must set it, using operating system specific facilities, to the path where your calibre configuration data is located:

Search The Internet for "how to set environment variables in <your operating system>"

To find out where your config data is, click the Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open... button.
