# Installation Instructions

1. Make sure you have [**yarn**](https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data/tree/master/resources/%5Bsystem%5D/%5Bbuilders%5D/yarn) in your ***resources*** folder.<br>
2. Download ***cs-stories*** and place it in your ***resources*** folder.<br>
3. Add ***ensure cs-stories*** to your server's configuration file before ensuring your phone.<br>
4. Edit your phone's ***\_\_resource.lua*** or ***fxmanifest.lua*** file and add *'**@cs-stories/client/hooks/core.lua'*** as the last client script and *'**@cs-stories/server/hooks/core.lua'*** as the last server script.<br>
5. Edit your phone's NUI file (usually ***index.html***) and add ***\<script type="text/javascript" src="nui://cs-stories/client/hooks/core.js">\</script>*** right before ***\</body>***.<br>
6. Check the ***config.lua*** file inside ***cs-stories*** for further configuration and **read through all options and their comments** and adjust them to your setup and preferences.<br>
7. Given you're using the internal solution, open the **required port** (by default **35540**; **incoming** - **inbound**) in your firewall on **TCP** protocol.<br>
8. Run the command ***refresh*** and the command ***ensure cs-stories***.<br>
9. If your phone uses an animation loop you may need to edit it (usually found in an ***animation.lua*** file) and add a ***not CS\_STORIES.ACTIVE*** check before playing an animation to ensure an animation glitch does not occur when the video call camera is opened.<br>
10. Ensure your phone.
