+Configuring ESMValTool
+----------------------
+
+.. _esmvaltool-configuring:
+
+To download data from ESFG via ESMValTool you will need a ~/.esmvaltool/config-user.yml file with something like:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    search_esgf: when_missing
+    download_dir: ~/climate_data
+    rootpath:
+        CMIP6: ~/climate_data/CMIP6
+    drs:
+        CMIP6: ESGF
+
+A config file can be generated with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    esmvaltool config get-config-user
+
+See `ESMValTool configuring docs <https://docs.esmvaltool.org/projects/ESMValCore/en/latest/quickstart/configure.html#user-configuration-file>`_
+for more information.
