In your elm-package.json file, using the "source-directories" key. I believe the default is [ "." ], so by default it will look in the same directory as the elm-package.json file.

{
    "source-directories": [
        "."
    ]
}

You can change it to [ "src" ] or even add multiple paths, since it's an array.

so if im running `elm-make` does it always look for a file locally named `elm-package.json`? – user2167582 Dec 14 '17 at 10:33
Correct. Several of the elm commands use the `elm-package.json` for info about project, like installed packages and source directory.. – Sidney Dec 14 '17 at 18:15
