# Install Multiple Copies

You may want to install multiple copies to customise them with different system messages or other settings.

An easy way to achieve it is to use alias, e.g.:

> mkdir apps

> cd apps

> python3 -m venv assist explain quote illustrate summarize

> source assist/bin/activate

> pip install gchat

> source explain/bin/activate

> pip install gchat

> source quote/bin/activate

> pip install gchat

> source illustrate/bin/activate

> pip install gchat

> source summarize/bin/activate

> pip install gchat

> nano .bashrc

Add the following aliases:

` alias explain=$HOME/apps/explain/bin/gchat alias illustrate=$HOME/apps/illustrate/bin/gchat alias quote=$HOME/apps/quote/bin/gchat alias assist=$HOME/apps/assist/bin/gchat alias summarize=$HOME/apps/summarize/bin/gchat `
