I am trying to customize the layout of Auspice to have a university logo and color scheme but I am having some issues to have it show. I am using the reference on Auspice [customization](https://docs.nextstrain.org/projects/auspice/en/stable/customise-client/index.html) and the [example](https://github.com/nextstrain/nextstrain.org/blob/master/auspice-client/customisations/config.json) listed there as a basis and added the `languageselector.js` and `navbar.js` I ran `auspice build --extend ` with the modified JSON and it ran without errors, but when I visualize the data through `nextstrain view /home/evtlabuser/nextstrain/COVID/auspice/ --allow-remote-access --port 4000` it still shows the Auspice logo and color scheme. I feel I am missing something, but I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. ---

Hi Maarten. I think the issue here is around the difference between `auspice` and `nextstrain` (also known as the “nextstrain CLI”). The latter typically uses a docker container which comes configured with various tools, including auspice, so customizing your own local version of auspice probably isn’t having any effect on the version of auspice `nextstrain` is using. Try running `auspice view --datasetDir /home/evtlabuser/nextstrain/COVID/auspice/` from the same directory you previously ran the `auspice build ...` command from (see [docs](https://docs.nextstrain.org/projects/auspice/en/stable/introduction/how-to-run.html) for more). If this works but you require the `--allow-remote-access` functionality of the CLI, then you should be able to add `--native` (see [docs here](https://docs.nextstrain.org/projects/cli/en/latest/commands/view/)) to have the CLI access your local environment, and therefore use your local customized auspice. Good luck and let us know how you get on! ---

Hi James, Thanks for the help. You were correct about the build not being in the same location as my customisations. As a reference to others. I am using the native environment and when I ran `nextstrain view` it said `Serving built javascript from "/home/evtlabuser/miniconda3/envs/nextstrain/lib/node_modules/auspice"` To get the customisation working: - I changed my location to this folder - Put my customizations in a subfolder `customisations` - Ran `auspice build --extend ./customisations/config.json --verbose` Now when I run `nextstrain view /home/evtlabuser/nextstrain/COVID/auspice/ --allow-remote-access --port 4000` it uses the customized Auspice version. I was using the example that was linked from the [documentation](https://github.com/nextstrain/nextstrain.org/tree/master/auspice-client/customisations) but didn’t have the `react` and `ISO-681-1' packages installed so I had to run `npm install react`and`$ npm install iso-639-1` to get the language selector to work
