## Configure 

Open the file Builder/firebase\_config.js. 

Here you should enter the firebase connection string.

Open config/app.js 

There enter your admin email, purchase code etc..

## Install the npm modules

Using Terminal or Command Prompt navigate to the downloaded and extracted zip. Then navigate to the folder "Builder"

Upload this **dist** folder to your hosting.&#x20;
