<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.

* For Android Devices, please find installation link here -> [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.Enertime.Enertime](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.Enertime.Enertime\&pli=1)

<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.
