# Specify remote Linux run settings

To specify run settings for the selected kit, go to Projects > Run Settings.

To run and debug an application on a Linux-based device, you must create connections from the development host to the device and add the device configurations to kits. Select Manage Kits to add devices to kits.

When you run the application, Qt Creator copies the files to the connected device.

The run settings display the path to the executable file on the development host and on the device. To specify that another application launches your application, for example, enter the command in the Alternate executable on device field and select Use this command instead.

You can specify arguments to pass to your application in the Command line arguments field.

Select Forward to local display to show a remotely running X11 client on a local display.

## Run as a different user

On Linux and macOS, select Default, root or Other in Run as user to build, deploy, and run the application with different permissions.
