# Installing as a monolith

You can install the Dendrite monolith binary into `$GOPATH/bin` by using `go install`:

```sh
go install ./cmd/dendrite
```

Alternatively, you can specify a custom path for the binary to be written to using `go build`:

```sh
go build -o /usr/local/bin/ ./cmd/dendrite
```
