# Deployment Modes GeoDin can be installed in two modes, depending on your organization's needs: * **Per-machine installation:** Each user has their own configuration, dictionaries, custom data types, and system files. This is the default for the Express installation. * **Central network installation:** All users share the same syslib, dictionaries, custom data types, and configuration via shared folders on a network drive. The installation folder layout is split across a **bin folder** (executable) and a **syslib folder** (dictionaries, filters, custom data types, configuration). In a per-machine installation, these are typically at `C:\Program Files\GeoDin\` and `C:\ProgramData\GeoDin\` respectively. In a central installation, they can be combined into a single stack on a network share. ## See also * [Custom installation](/installation-and-licensing/custom-installation.md) — choose between single-user and network installation during setup. * [Infrastructure and environment setup guide](/installation-and-licensing/infrastructure-and-environment-setup-guide.md) — multi-user deployment, syslib sharing, and database options. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
