TeamCity Home Directory

The TeamCity Home Directory or the TeamCity Installation Directory is the directory where the TeamCity server application files and libraries have been unpacked when TeamCity was installed. The location of the TeamCity Home directory is defined when you install the TeamCity server. The default directory suggested by the Windows installation package is C:\TeamCity; however, TeamCity can be installed into any directory.
