2) Extract the files to the foundry installation directory.

Either with a gui client such as 7zip or with terminal, extract the files to the path/to/foundry/resources/app directory. (where the main.js file is located)

At the top of the file you will see the following configuration:

Change the client ID to the one you have stored in your clipboard.
