# Specify a custom executable to run

If you use Meson or the generic project type, or want to run a custom desktop executable, create a Custom Executable run configuration for your project. For example, when working on a library, you can run a test application that links against the library.

To specify a custom executable to run:

1. Select Add > Custom Executable.

2. In Executable, specify the path to the executable.
3. In Command line arguments, enter the path to the file to run.
