There are two scripts in this folder namely,&#x20;

Create two files namely '.env.apicred', '.env.password', by using the below mentioned command in terminal.

touch .env.password
```

put - the credentials in below format in '.env.apicred' file - these credentials helps you to login your Plugin GUI

```
emailid
password
```

put - password(very strong) in '.env.password' file and it should follow specific format, which is given under NOTE

```
keystorepassword
```

#### NOTE:

```
.env.password => contains your Keystore password                      
#  *** KEYSTORE PASSWORD SHOULD FOLLOW THESE CONDITIONS ***
#   “must be longer than 12 characters”,			    
#   “must contain at least 3 lowercase characters”,	     
#   “must contain at least 3 uppercase characters”,	     
#   “must contain at least 3 numbers”,			     
#   “must contain at least 3 symbols”,			     
#   “must not contain more than 3 identical consecutive characters”.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before triggering 1\_prerequisite.bash, please ensure to change the password at line number 203. The password should be a strong one as it is a Postgres password. Keep in mind that, the password should not have \* or @  characters
{% endhint %}

Open the terminal, go to a specific folder, and trigger the bash file like below

> ./1\_prerequisite.bash

What it does?

* It installs all prerequisites for the plugin environment.
* If your system already has a few packages that are necessary for Plugin environment, then the packages will throw error/warning messages and override the same.
* It is always recommended to go with fresh VPS or Machine
