<summary>Step1: Install Mobile Application</summary>

As Enertime works on the concept of creating a connection between your phone and laptop, we must first install the mobile application that will allow you to do so.

Once the mobile application has been successfully installed, please go to the next step!

<summary>Step 2: Install PC Application</summary>

For integrating your games with your phone, you will need a PC application. This app will allow you to play games while using the smartphone as a controller, but one that works on gestures rather than buttons!&#x20;

<summary>Step 3: Allow Permissions</summary>

*\[Only available in Windows]*

There are a few things to keep in mind when using our application. As a user-centered company, we are open with the permissions that we require for the smooth operation of our solution.

1. For the **mobile application**, we may require access to the following permissions. We guarantee you that we will not use them for any other task apart from those specified here.
   * Your **camera** to facilitate scanning the QR code (to link phone and computer).&#x20;
   * Access to the **internet**, for transfer of data from our server on your laptop to your smartphones. *(primarily for IOS)*
2. For **server application** on your computer, the following permissions may be required for the smooth operation of our service.

   * Windows:
     * May be required to **disable firewall** restrictions during the installation phase *(as our application is recognized as a third-party app)*.
     * May be required to **disable external anti-virus** applications *(for installation only)*

   As you can see, all the permissions we require for the server application is only during installation.&#x20;

   Apart from these permissions, there is nothing in our application that violates any default permissions on either platform.

The next section shall take you through the different game modes that we currently offer. See you there!
