It was an extended process. In the first instance the Roman Republic had a specific legal role for a 'dictator', typically one elected for a six month period and was periodically installed in times of military emergency or domestic upheaval.

The process of 'subversion' of the Republic finally resulted in an Imperial regime beginning with Octavian (Augustus) 30's BC to 14 AD - though for centuries some nominal form of a 'republic' was maintained. For many years previously populist and generals would instigate forceful regime changes which with each incident tended to undermine the stability of the Republic.

What are some comparisons of the Roman Empire and the Roman Republic?

Unfortunately historians make a confusing use of the tem Roman Empire. They use it in two senses. One is the common one of territorial possessions. The other refers to the period of rule by emperors which followed the Roman Republic. In the territorial sense, Rome already had an empire during the Republic. Much of her imperial expansion occurred during the republican period. The Roman Republic and rule by emperors can hardly be compared. The Republic was headed by two annually elected consuls. The other officers of state were also elected annually, except for the censor, whose term of office was 18 months. The emperors were absolute rulers who exercised personal power; that is, they were despots. They appointed the officers of state and the imperial bureaucracy. The senate was turned into an instrument for the emperor's power.
