# Generate the .meterian file

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

![](/files/-MLhYlAN9KbRGrH8hM6Q)

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.
