# Installation & Setup

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/opPbNl-yE14>" %}

#### Step 1: Installing Required Packages

TerraForge 2 relies on additional packages for optimal performance:

* **Burst:** Optimizes performance using Unity's Burst compiler.
* **Mathematics:** Provides essential mathematical functions and structures.
* **Post-Processing:** Enhances visual quality through post-processing effects (needed for demo scenes).

Before installing TerraForge 2, check that these packages are installed. If they are not installed, you will need to install them manually to ensure compatibility and functionality.

#### Step 2: Installing TerraForge 2

1. Open your Unity project.
2. Navigate to the Unity Asset Store or your preferred source where you acquired TerraForge 2.
3. In Unity, open the Package Manager window (**Window > Package Manager**).
4. Find TerraForge 2 in your list of assets under "My Assets" or "In Project".
5. Click on "**Install**" to add TerraForge 2 to your project.
6. In the import window, make sure all components are selected and click "**Import"**.

**Step 3: Customizing Global Settings**

The global settings file has already been created and does not need to be created again. To customize the global settings:

1. Go to **Tools > TerraForge 2 > Global Settings**.
2. Check if all necessary objects are assigned in the Global Settings window.
3. If any objects are missing, click on the "Auto Assign Objects" button to automatically assign the required objects.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiskered.gitbook.io/terraforge-documentation/getting-started/installation-and-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
