# Customized stack

A set of options to have a customized stack.

How to override the config of each package, how to add more packages, how to use more packages from platform 

It is high likely when developing to seek for a way to run one package or two. 

Or to add more packages from Platform to the stack.

As we mentioned, it is possible to override configs as well. 

In this page, we will specify how cares-on-platform is customized.

### Running specific packages

To run specific packages, two options:

1.  Use the CLI like mentioned in the docs and specify the packages that you want to run in cares-on-platform. \
   Example:

   ```
   ./platform-linux init <package_name> --dev --env-file="./.env.local"  
   ```
2. Edit the package-metadata.json file. \
   Note that the packages mentioned there will be running with their dependencies if you don't add `--only` flag in the CLI command.

### Override configs&#x20;

In Cares on platform, we're overriding some of the configs.

You can check for:&#x20;

* importer -> kafka-mapper-consumer: two folders that contains override configs (fhir-mapping.json and plugins)
* importer -> dashboard-visualiser-superset: will import assets related to Cares on platform project from dashboard and charts.
* importer -> analytics-datastore-clickhouse: will run the SQL queries in `clickhouseTables.js` specific to Cares on platform project.
