# First Start

* Make sure you followed this <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suEDBtzfWCY>
* You can now start your server, WaveShield **will update himself automatically** and **restart** your server 2-3 times, **THAT'S NORMAL**, just restart it when it stops.
* When WaveShield is successfully started you should see `WaveShield is ready to use` in the console. Otherwise, do what WaveShield asks you.

* Now run the `waveshield install 1` command in the server console. WaveShield will install itself in your scripts to **secure them**.
* If you don't see your anticheat configuration on the panel after the first start, make sure that you authorized waveshield panel (panel.waveshield.xyz) into your firewall (port 80/3000)
