official fix faster.

### Edit the installed Cypress code

The installed application comes with the fully transpiled, unobfuscated
JavaScript source code that you can hack on. You might want to directly modify
the installed app code to:

- investigate a hard to recreate bug that happens on your machine
- change the run-time behavior of Cypress before opening a pull request
- have fun 🎉

First, print where the binary is installed using the
[cypress cache path](/guides/guides/command-line#cypress-cache-path) command.

For example, on a Mac:

```shell
npx cypress cache path
/Users/jane/Library/Caches/Cypress
```

Second, open the source code at the following path in any code editor. Make sure
to substitute `3.3.1` for the desired version of Cypress you want to edit.

```text
/Users/jane/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.3.1/Cypress.app/Contents/Resources/app/packages/
```

You can change anything in the JavaScript code:

I think we can remove this image as well. It doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere else.

When finished, if necessary, remove the edited Cypress version and reinstall the
Cypress official version to get back to the official released code.

```shell
rm -rf /Users/jane/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.3.1
npm install [email protected]
```
