The following are the default directories selected by the Arduino CLI if alternatives are not specified in the
configuration file.

- The `build_cache.path` default is OS-dependent:

- on Linux (and other Unix-based OS) is: if
[`$XDG_CACHE_HOME`](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/#variables) is defined,
`$XDG_CACHE_HOME/arduino`. Otherwise `{HOME}/.config/arduino`.
- on Windows is: `{HOME}/AppData/Local/arduino`
- on MacOS is: `{HOME}/Library/Caches/arduino`

- The `directories.data` default is OS-dependent:

- on Linux (and other Unix-based OS) is: `{HOME}/.arduino15`
