Configure is a term used in computing and engineering that refers to the process of customizing a system or device to meet specific user needs. The term can be broken down into two parts: SHAPE and setup. SHAPE refers to the physical form of the device, such as its size, SHAPE, and color. Setup refers to the configuration of the device, such as the settings, software, and hardware. Together, these two components make up the process of configuring a device or system.
