 The first time Clef is used it needs to be initialized with a master seed that unlocks Clef's secure vault and a path where the vault should be located. Clef will use the vault to store passwords for keystores, javascript auto-signing rules and hashes of rule files. To initialize Clef, pass a vault path to `clef init`, for example to store it in a new directory inside `/home/user/go-ethereum`:
 
 ```sh
-clef init /home/user/go-ethereum/clefdata
+clef init --configdir /home/user/go-ethereum/clefdata
 ```
 
 It is extremely important to remember the master seed and keep it secure. It allows access to the accounts under Clef's management.
