# Deploy

#### Zeus Deploy

Deploy a custom Zeus box to your local working directory. 

The `--type` method can be used to determine what medium to deploy the box to. The default `local` deploys with the syntax `file://${packagePath}/box.zip`. The option `ipfs` deploys to the IPFS network with the syntax `ipfs://${hash}`.
