 7. Choose a channel number and set the channel by changing the `channel` variable.
 
 # Client Setup
+1. download `loggerClient.lua` and put it on your computer.
+2. attach a modem to the computer and note what side it is on.
+3. set the settings `logger.AES.key`, `logger.modemSide` and `logger.channel`.
+4. download the AES dependency and put it in the root directory.
+5. use `require` to include to use this library.
+
+## Example
+```lua
+local logger = require("/loggerClient")
+
+logger.log("testLogger", "this is a test log")
+```
