This page documents Wolvenkit's settings menu, and what the individual entries mean.
You must make sure that your Game Executable Path is set. Wolvenkit will not work otherwise.
Game Executable Path (.exe)
Path to the game's executable file on your hard drive, e.g.
C:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe
Depot Path

The Depot Path is a WolvenKit system folder for caching game assets. It serves as a cache for mesh exports with materials. WolvenKit builds a repository of visual assets within the Depot for usage with external applications such as MLSetupBuilder or Blender.
By default, it is set to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot, but you can pick any location. It does not need to be on an SSD, although Wolvenkit might load faster if it is.
Learn more about the Material exports here.
