THE DATA PATH
After the installation OpenMW needs to be told where to find the Morrowind data directory. Create a text file named openmw.cfg (location depends on platform) and enter the following line:
data=path to your data directory
(where you replace "path to your data directory" with the actual location of your data directory)
On Windows you a suitable location for the cfg file is alongside the binary. Currently the binary release comes with such a file pre-generated, but you still need to adjust the data setting.
On Linux and Mac the default location will be ~/.config/openmw/openmw.cfg.
