# Configuration and environment

## Committed absolute paths pin the build to this box [#690] {#paths}

Costs: `go.mod` replaces Hexis with `/home/kami/apps/hexis`, `start-maven.sh`
hardcodes the checkout and the data directory, and `deploy/mavgpud.json` holds
workstation model and Python paths. Vendoring hides the `go.mod` problem for an
ordinary build. `-mod=mod`, `go mod tidy` and a fresh checkout all fail.
Revisit when: anyone clones this repo elsewhere, or a `tidy` is needed.
Workaround: build only from this checkout, with the vendor directory.
