# Setting a custom build directory
|
|
|
|
You can specify a name to use for a custom build directory to use instead of `.next`.
|
|
|
|
Open `next.config.js` and add the `distDir` config:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
distDir: 'build',
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now if you run `next build` Next.js will use `build` instead of the default `.next` folder.
|
|
|
|
> `distDir` **should not** leave your project directory. For example, `../build` is an **invalid** directory.
