Anet A6 profile for Cura 3.5. Start Cura once, create a custom printer called "Anet A6" without changing any of the settings and close Cura. Save and overwrite both files in "AppData\Roaming\cura\3.1\definition_changes" and start Cura again.

I have the newest version of Cura and can't find that file path at all to update the settings for the A6! Can someone please help?
How to do so in Ubuntu 18.04?
Doesn't seem to be working. I've copied and replaced both files into the right directory, my Anet is properly put together, as i've tested with one of the stock files (pyramid) and it printer perfectly. Any ideas?
It's working with cura 4.8.
I created a new file in the specified folder (Appdata...) named Anet+A6_settings.inst.cfg , then copied/pasted the code in, and saved. Once cura running, the printer was there with the parameters.
