I’ve been trying to get Sonic Pi to play a simple `sample :loop_amen_full` or `play 60` upon opening. I’ve tried putting the code in the init.rb file on both Windows and Raspberry Pi and neither seems to work at all.

On Windows, the location is:

```ruby
C:/Program Files/Sonic P/iapp/config/user-examples/init.rb

```

On Raspberry Pi:

```ruby
/opt/sonic-pi/app/config/user-examples/init.rb

```

Any idea what might be wrong?

…

Answer: I was editing the wrong file! The real locations are:

**Windows:**

```ruby
C:/Users/<username>/.sonic-pi/config/init.rb

```

**Raspberry Pi:**

```ruby
/home/<username>/.sonic-pi/config/init.rb

```
