## Step 1. Install modules

```
npm i hyperswarm hypercore-crypto b4a
```
**Note**: If the modules are installed while the app is running an error is thrown similar to `Cannot find package 'hyperswarm' imported from /app.js`. When installing modules, close down the app, before they can be installed.
