Describe feature

When reading the wiki page, I've found out that you can specify the TRILIUM_DATA_DIR environment variable to provide a custom path to the data directory.

Although it's working on windows, the explicit mention of this operating system is missing in the Changing the location of data directory section of the corresponding wiki page.

Could you please add a brief mention of windows OS, since it may cause confusion that it may not be possible to do (especially for non-tech people). Sth like:

Changing the location of data directory

Windows

Press start, search for Edit the system environment variables. In the popup window press on Environment variables.... Then press New... in User variables section. Fill in Variable name: field with TRILIUM_DATA_DIR, then press Browse Directory... and select the data folder of interest. Close all the popup windows by repeatedly pressing OK.

@LeoRya yes, you just need to set the TRILIUM_DATA_DIR environment variable. I think your best bet would be to google how to do it on windows in case the explanation mentioned in the ticket's description is not clear
