I followed Akhil's youtube video to install forem but i have searched "inventory" folder and "forem" folder and also searched "setup.yml" file on my instance no return.

I dont know where to find this files to make correct configuration for ENV file. also there is no .env file setup duirng Akhil's installation video.

Oh, sorry if that was unclear. I was referring to @akhil 's post here.

Edit: If you didn't use the Forem Self-host instructions to install your Forem, then things might be a little different for you. It's harder for us to offer advice if you're off the beaten path, which is why we try to guide everyone to using our tools as they're currently set up.

Your Forem will have a default_email specified somewhere, so maybe search for that?
