# Getting Started

## Introduction

At this stage we assume you already have the client and server downloaded and properly setup.

Considering this mod is a multiplayer framework, there are two types of scripts:

* Client scripts, which are done in [Blueprint ](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/blueprints-visual-scripting-in-unreal-engine)in the [Creator Kit](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hogwarts-legacy--creator-kit).
* Server scripts, which are written in a .NET compatible language, we recommend C# and Visual Studio.

You therefore need to install both the [Creator Kit](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hogwarts-legacy--creator-kit) and [Visual Studio Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/).

## Creator Kit

You first need to install the HogWarpCK plugin which can be found on [NexusMods](https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/1378?tab=files). The content of the archive must then be unzip in the Creator Kit's install directory. You can find the Creator Kit's install location from the Epic Launcher as shown below.

You can now launch the Creator Kit.

If everything was correctly installed, you should see a "HogWarp" button in the tool bar
