Description: How to configure Locadex target directories and commands in a monorepo.

If your project uses a monorepo, tell Locadex which folder contains the app you want to localize. You can set this target directory when creating or editing an automation.

## Set the target directory [#target-directory]

Open **Project > Automations** and create or select an automation. Set **Target directory** to the path from the repository root to the app.

Use `.` when the app is at the repository root.

## Configure commands [#configure-commands]

Automation commands run from the repository root.

If a command needs to run inside the app directory, include the directory change in the command or use your package manager workspace command.

For example:

```bash
cd locadex-lab && npm run build
```
