# Change Cache Location

By default the cache is stored locally in `.nx/cache`. Cache results are stored for a week before they get deleted. You can customize the cache location in the `nx.json` file:

{% tabs %}
{% tab label="Nx >= 17" %}

```json {% fileName="nx.json"%}
{
  "cacheDirectory": "/tmp/mycache"
}
```

{% /tab %}
{% tab label="Nx < 17" %}

```json {% fileName="nx.json"%}
{
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
    "default": {
      "options": {
        "cacheDirectory": "/tmp/mycache"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

{% /tab %}
{% /tabs %}
