# Setup
To get started with `mdbook-files`, the next step is to add it to your `mdbook`
configuration. To do this, you have two options: the automatic install method,
and the manual installation method. The former method is recommended, but the
latter is still documented here in case you run into issues.
### Automatic setup
To install `mdbook-files` automatically, given that you have already installed it,
you can run this command:
mdbook-files install
This will run perform the same steps as the manual installation method.
### Manual setup
Next, setup your project by adding this to the configuration:
```toml
[preprocessor.files]
prefix = "."
[output.html]
additional-css = ["style.css"]
```
Next, you need to add the `style.css` file into your project, by copying it
from the repository.
## Verify
Once you have done this, you should be able to run `mdbook` to build your book
and not get any issues.
mdbook build
If this succeeds, you are ready for the next step.
