# Generate the .meterian file

For ease of use, the  [.meterian](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/set-exclusion/dotmeterian) file can also simply be download from the [Report page](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/set-exclusion/set-exclusions-report-page), after exclusion has been set up there. Just click on the "Download Exclusions" button available on the first row:

Then place the downloaded file as ".meterian" in the root project of your folder. It's a simple mechanism that can also be used to replicate your exclusions across several branches of the same codebase.
